Turning using HEIZ milling machines.
This special function creates from a section running in the horizontal direction the movements for a turning facility. The section describes a section through the workpiece to be turned.
CAD drawing
The section in the X/Y level is input into the CAD. For milling, the axes are converted into suitable machine movements.
- Graphic X > machine X
- Graphic Y > machine Z
The direction of turning must be set in the X-direction on the machine. Milling is done with the machine X and Z axes. In the CAD the section to be worked should be input in the range +X and -Y. The highest point of the working should lie at Y = 0. No part of the cutting line may lie above Y = 0! The cutting line must consist of one coherent section. For working off the milling paths are calculated and directly saved in a file using the DIN/ISO export filter for PCNC lathes. This turning equipment can be used only with WinPC-NC. |
The cutting line must consist of one coherent section. Several individual elements are joined by a horizontal line (red) in the Y = 0 level. |
Input of the special turning function.
After the cutting line has been input completely and correctly, the milling path calculation can be started using the function CAM . PCNC-Lathe.
Tool | Selection of the milling tool from the library. A click on the tool graphic opens the tool input. The milling takes place using this tool. | ||||||
Position of cut | Employment and position correction of the cutting line.
|
||||||
Clearance procedure | Before milling, the cutting line material is removed in layers using the clearance process.
|
||||||
Clearance separation [mm] | Separation of the clearance lines in (graphic) Y – direction. |
Following confirmation of the input the milling paths are calculated and saved directly in a file using the DIN/ISO export filter for PCNC lathes. This turning direction can be used only with WinPC-NC.
Results of the milling path calculation.
hatched clearance movements with cutting line in the X- / Y level. The cutting line lies below Y = 0. Settings: ABSOLUTE + row exposure.
Scaled clearance movements with cutting line in the X- / Y level. The highest point of the cutting line lies at Y = 0. Settings: Relative + scaled.
