Prismatic Machining
New Functionalities
- New Trochoid Milling Operation
- A new milling operation dedicated to hard-material
machining is provided. The trochoidal motion ensures a
constant material removal which increases the tool life
duration.
- Pocketing Operation
- This highlight provides capability to machine pocket
areas without jump motion on check elements.
- Bottom Plane Definition Using a Point
- This highlight allows you to specify the bottom plane
using a point for Pocketing, Profile Contouring, Groove
Milling, and Facing operations. When you do not have a floor
to define for a profile, you can select a point as the
bottom and normal of the bottom would be taken from the tool
axis. Any change in the tool axis would effectively change
the direction of bottom (always keeping it perpendicular to
the tool axis and passing through the selected point).
Enhanced Functionalities
- Extended Multi-edit Support
- Multi-edition allows you to modify the common parameters
of several Machining Operations of the same type. In
addition to the operations already supported, this
capability is now available for Pocketing and all Axial
Machining operations.
- Power Option in Axial Operations
- This enhancement allows you to define the Power
parameter for appropriate Axial machining operations. You
can take the Power parameter value from the tool assembly
(as in the previous Release) or you can define the Power
parameter value specific to the operation.
- Helix Approach Macro in Circular Milling
- This enhancement provides capability to rough core the
hole by Helical movement before a circular finishing path.
- Option to Disable Stock Management at Operation Level
- You can now choose to deactivate stock management for
specific operations. The creation of the Output stock and/or
the handling of input stock in toolpath computation can be
controlled at machining operation level.
