This page shows how to use a machining cycle with a Z - evolutive. In this case we are going to see for a chamfering cycle.
This tip is also relevant to all operations in the Manual menu.
|
As a first step, make sure that you are in the Z plane. Go into the Manual menu and click on geometry selection. Select the 'Edges path' mode of selection (because we have s oli |
|
|
Select the profile the the direction as shown. To determine the altitude, click on 'Top Z' then click on background.
|
|
|
For the tool, choose a ball end mill of D04 Long. And for the machining cycle, choose Contouring. In the strategy page, choose ‘Center’ in the ‘Offset Type’ and set 0 mm for the Z Step (Ap). |
|
|
Set both lead in and lead out length at 2 mm then calculate the cycle. |
|
|
Simulate and see the tool machining the profile with varying values in Z. |
