End Facing

This cycle allows the machining of a flat surface at the end of a cylindrical or rectangular workpiece.

Key Points

The new End Facing operation introduces a range of advanced capabilities for machining part surfaces, including:

The ability to select any curved geometry for facing.
Integration of a front lead-in for smoother tool engagement.
Precise finishing passes to ensure high accuracy and surface quality.
