We have five axis machines with Heidenhain controls. Could anyone please suggest some values for 'Max. Tool Axis Change' option for semi and finishing paths? Tolerances are +/-0,01mm and +/-0,003mm. (M128 milling)
We have large mold parts, where we use turnmilling. Tilting is 10..30 degrees.
Thanks in advance.
