Purpose

Make  a reaming hole, using a reaming tool, according to and on the Z axis of the machine tool, by triggering or not a fixed cycle

Of course, for this turning cycle, there is a part rotation and the tool is fixed.

 

How to use

  1. Select the menu "Turning | Cycle | Reaming" or click the icon.

  2.  Designate the cylindrical face, or the point from which the reaming operation will be done.  When the user selects a face, its diameter will be proposed for the tool selection ('Geometric informations' tab).

  3. Select the tool required for the machining operation. The list proposes a selection of tools whose diameter is inferior or equivalent to the diameter of the selected cylinder.

  4. Indicate the reaming depth to apply. By default, this can be equivalent to the cylinder length previously selected by pressing the button ‘cylinder length' or the user can define this length on the screen. After, in the dialog box, it will be possible to modify it.

  5. Specify the different parameters in the tabs 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.
