Definition
GO2cam allows up to 100 % stepover of the tool diameter. To remove all the material with such a stepover, the toolpaths includes pecking or smoothed loops (Alpha or Omega).
With maximum stepover, the machining time for this operation is optimal and the toolpath is still very safe.
|
Example of pecking pointed out with a yellow ellipse. These motions are not always optimal. |
|
To define smooths loops, choose the option needed between alpha or omega and enter the value of the radius needed, Radius of HSM loop.
When defining large overlaps in the pockets, there may have some peaks of toolpaths in corners. A radius on the side contour pass can also be defined for deletion of sharp angles.
