Purpose

Realize in automatic mode chamfers which did not exist on the part (because difficult and long to define in conception!)  on some or all the edges of the part.

Allow also to manufacture in automatic chamfers already defined on the part.

Understanding the function

The breaking edges operation is realized, by taking into account the angles of the tool (HA horizontal angle and VA vertical angle).

The plunges of the tool are made by respecting the possibilities of the tool.

How to use

  1. Select the menu "Turning | Turning | Breaking edges" or click the    icon.

  2. If there are several parts, indicate the part to machine.

  3. Select the tool to use for the operation.

  4. Select the edges to break or click the button. With this button, TopSolid'Cam searches all the edges which can be used with the current tool. Of course, after it's possible to select / unselect some edges.

  5.  Click on the  button

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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

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