Purpose

Make an axial pocketing using a rotative tool.

The positioning of the part and the machining is done  with the C axis (Spindle) and NOT with the Y axis even if the machine tool has one.

How to use

  1. Activate the part Wcs (turning Wcs) , if it's not done.

  2. Select the curve to pocket

  3. Select the face from the part on which the machining operation will be based, or input the altitude of the operation

  4. Select the tool to use for the operation

  5. Specify the different parameters in the tab dialogue box which appears.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Validate entries made into the dialogue box by clicking on OK.

The user can eventually click on the ‘Info’ button in order to know the geometrical characteristics of the face to machine (Area, minimum radius, total height, etc..).
