Wheel dressing
Menu: 4/5 axis | Wheel dressing
Links:
Define an operation of machining which leans on two curves, objective being to send to the ISO code the coordinates XYZ with a tool's orientation angle.
The rolling part of the tool stays along the support curves by developing axis A, B or C.
The user has to define two curves which are used as a support for the tool.
TopSolid'Cam uses
the bottom curve to define the tool path realized with the driven point of the tool
the upper curve to synchronize the tool (like for EDM) and defines tool angles orientation.
Of course, to have a good synchronization,
it's necessary to have :
The same number of entities in the 2 curves
The same origin point
Select the menu "Milling | 4/5 axis | 5 axis contour".
If there are several parts, indicate the part to machine.
Select the only tool (or change tool) which can be used for the machining operation.
Select the bottom curve and the upper one.
Specify the different parameters in the tab dialogue box which appears. The operator must use this dialogue box to select the other faces to be swept.
Enter the comment which appears on the machine block listing meant for the NC operator. This comment will also appear when the user wishes to take a look at or modify an operation, using the Operation/ Operations manager function.
Eventually, enter a codified remark which will be interpreted by the post-processor, in a specific manner predefined by the user and the post-processor redactor.
Validate entries made into the dialogue box by clicking on OK.
