Hi,
How do You protect the vise or any other fixture? It is common, that we machine right above the jaws, with ie. 0.2mm clearance, because the minimum Z is easily be compared on the machine, but the X position of the part is not so exact, so it would be better some bigger safety distance ie...
Hi,
I have a first setup, operation seems good. I have loaded machine, machine components (Part, Workpiece, fixture) set correctly. Simulation works fine.
I have a second setup, same machine, different fixture. How can one store the first setup configuration, before changing the machine...
Hi,
I have a cam setup, wave linked body added to Workpiece geometry group.
There is another body extacted from the wave linked body, and some more auxiliary bodies.
How do You order Your workpieces' bodies of in the feature navigator? Groups? Layers?
I tried creating a group, with all the...
Hi.
After roughing, I have an IPW, where I can see the rest material. During heat treatment deformation occurs, So my IPW will not show the real state. How could I add some kind of blank stock to my IPW?
When the deformation of the part is similar to the cut depth of the rest...
Mold inserts usually have long coolant holes. The first step in the manufacturing is drilling these holes, before any milling job. Find feature does not know about this, and I cannot find any option to do what I need. Should I seek for some feature modifying option? Or is there any switch in...
Hi.
I have a workpiece, it contains my original part geometry, blank and fixtures. So simple.
For roughing I need another workpiece, with some additional geometry for the second setup, some patches for the holes to get some better toolpaths. There is a third workpiece for prefinishing, patches...
Hi, how should I define a simple 10mm endmill?
it has ~ 20mm flute length,
then ~ 10mm undergrinding at 9.2mm diameter
finally ~ 40mm shank.
When I try it as 70mm 'length' and 20mm 'flute length',
how is the 50mm gray part treated? Is it a shank? Or a neck?
When I set tool neck clearance 0, it...
Hi there, I've been trying to fill my tools' cutting data to the maching data library.
First, I tried it on the first tab of the 'Edit maching data libraries', called Machining data.
I selected the tool material, the cut method, and the part material, and set a new record. Yes, but in this case...
Hi,
Greeting to everyone on this forum.
This Video shows, that it is possible to use different coolant for open and closed region. I would like to set both internal and external air for the open regions.
Is there a way to extend the available coolant types?
There are some cases, where I need the...
