3-Axis Surface Machining (SMG, MSM) - P2

General Issues

Probing The “Cycle OFF” NC Instruction has been specialized for axial, probing, and for lathe (machining operations generate respectively NC_AXIAL_CYCLE_OFF, NC_PROBING_CYCLE_OFF and NC_LATHE_CYCLE_OFF, by default they are all associated to CYCLE/OFF in the PPTable). It allows you to define a specific CYCLE OFF in the PPTable, for instance for Probing.

Important: If you have redefined the NC_CYCLE_OFF in the current PPTable, you must redefine the NC_AXIAL_CYCLE_OFF, NC_LATHE_CYCLE_OFF and NC_PROBING_CYCLE_OFF accordingly in the PPTable to avoid any behavior change.

Rework Area The generated rework area may be split if faces selected as “Part” belongs also to the body given as “check”.

Contour-Driven Parallel Mode Parameters
  • Strategy side: Available in Parallel contour mode.
    • One Side: only one side of the guide is machined. This side is defined by the Stepover side parameter.
    • Both sides with opposite direction: The side given by the Stepover side is machined first, then the other side is machine, in the opposite direction.
    • Both sides with same direction: The side given by the Stepover side is machined first, then the other side is machine, in the same direction.
Note: Both sides options are available with Constant3D radial step over. They are not available with Constant2D and Via ScallopHeight.
