Lathe Machining
Enhanced Functionalities
- B-axis management for turning operations
- New capability to define a tool axis on each Turning operation.
This allows the B-axis orientation
to be managed and eliminates the need for a tool change activity.
- Turret C-axis management for turning operations
- A new
C-axis inversion option on the Strategy tab
page of the Machining Operation editor
enables a C-axis rotation (0/180 degrees) without requiring a tool change
activity.
This allows machining of different areas (front and back areas of a
part, or part on main spindle and part on a counter-spindle) using
the same tool assembly. Only the tool orientation (inversion)
differs when machining the different areas or parts.
- Automatic Generation of ROTABL and TLAXIS for Changeover from
Lathe to Mill
- This enhancement allows
automatic generation of ROTABL and TLAXIS statements whenever there
is change-over between Turning and Milling Operations.
