Limits

 

The machining area, calculated by TopSolid'Cam based on the starting and ending elements entered in by the user, can be interactively modified by using the following dialogue box:

 

 

 

 

None

It is NOT necessary to fix some any limitations. The machining area is fine.

 

Window

With this mode, the user can limit the machinable area proposed by TopSolid'Cam, by applying a Z and X limitations.

The window is defined with a rectangle defined by the  two extreme points.

 

On Z

The user defines a point, where the Z coordinate represents the machining limit.

This  Z limit takes into account the machining direction.

For an external left tool on the rear turret, the Z limitation corresponds to a maximum Z.

 

On X

The user defines a point, where the X coordinate represents the machining limit.

This  Z limit takes into account the machining direction.

For an external left  tool on the rear turret, the X limitation corresponds to a minimum X.

For an internal left tool on the rear turret, the X limitation corresponds to a maximum X.

Limit angle

The user can also give a limit angle. In this case, the limit is not done perpendicular to the finish part but according to this angle when the driven point of the tool reach the Z limit.
