Toolpath Optimization

Cycles: Facing Pocket, Pocket, Pocket Rework, Pocket+contour, millyuGO, Roughing/Reworking, Facing Roughing, Pocket (Shape), Flat Face Finish

Definition

GO2cam advanced pocketting cycles offer several solutions to make the toolpath as safe as possible, by optimizing toolpaths, by decreasing jerks, by reducing feedrate.

All these options enable to save time and increase the tool life and the machining quality.

Optimization

Rework Zone Tolerance

Ability to limitate the reworking areas.

More details here: Rework Zone Tolerance

Protection: treatment of the stepover

Treat maxi stepover

If the cutting conditions are severe for the tool (full width cut or high feedrate), GO2cam offers 2 solutions:

Feedrate Reduction

Ability to program reduction of feedrate regarding the stepover value.

Trochoidal Machining

Trochoidal motions are defined at critical areas regarding the stepover value.

Protection: treatment of the changes of direction.

Type of HSM Radius

This parameter enables the programming of Alpha or Omega loops where changes of direction are done.

Alpha:

Omega:

It avoids jerks and shocks for the spindle and the tool.
