Radial turning pocketing ( with C axis)
Icon: 
Menu: Turning | Radial turning | Pocketing
Links:
Make a radial pocketing using a rotative tool. The profile can be already wrapped on a cylinder or not.
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.
If the curve is already rolled up, the topological analyze verifies the rolling-up of the curve to machine around the axis Z. If this curve is flat, TopSolid'Cam will wrap it on the required diameter.
A pocketing operation will create descent within the material! All strategies are available, depending on the user’s preference. In the case of a vertical descent in a pocket, at a rapid or work feed, the user can select the descent point or accept the default point suggested by TopSolid'Cam.
By default, this function will make
the tool path on the wrap diameter. So if the user select the external
diameter, he must put a negative bottom offset to remove some material.
The clearance plans are NOT calculated
in automatic. The user must check also the Z values of these plans.
Activate the part Wcs (turning Wcs) , if it's not done.
Select the curve to use (rolled up curve or not).
Indicate where is the material side (the arrow indicates this material side direction).
Select the tool to use for the operation..
Specify the different parameters in the tab dialogue box which appears.
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..
