Lathe Machining
Enhanced Functionalities
- B-axis management for turning operations
- New capability to define a tool axis on each Turning operation. This
allows the B-axis orientation to be managed and eliminates the need for a
tool change activity.
- Turret C-axis management for turning operations
- A new C-axis inversion option on the Strategy tab page of the Machining
Operation editor enables a C-axis rotation (0/180 degrees) without requiring
a tool change activity. This allows machining of different areas (front and
back areas of a part, or part on main spindle and part on a counter-spindle)
using the same tool assembly. Only the tool orientation (inversion) differs
when machining the different areas or parts.
- Automatic Generation of ROTABL and TLAXIS for Changeover from Lathe to
Mill
- This enhancement allows automatic generation of ROTABL and TLAXIS
statements whenever there is change-over between Turning and Milling
Operations.
