Rotary Roughing operation
Application Area:
Rotary Roughing is a continuous rough four-axis machining operation that removes the workpiece material layer by layer. It is similar to the Roughing Waterline operation except that the machining layers are not planes, but cylinders with their axis aligned along the Rotary Axis .
Job Assignment:
Spiral curve. The curve needed to indicate the angle of the spiral for the strategy Side angle.
Top Level. Specifying the top level by model elements. This level defines the maximum radius on the model where machining happens. See more
Bottom Level. Specifying the bottom level by model elements. This level defines the minimum radius on the model where machining happens. See more
Properties. Displays the properties of an element. It is possible to add the stock. You can also call this menu by double clicking on an item in the list.
Delete. Removes an item from the list.
Strategy.
Job zone.
It enables additional modification of the working area initially selected on the Job Assignment tab.
Trajectory form.
The trajectory output format.
Milling Type.
Сan be assigned in almost all operations, except for the curve machining operations. This allows the user to control the required milling type (climb or conventional) during the toolpath calculation process. See more
The parameters of the Milling Type are the same. as in the Waterline Roughing operation. See more.
Sorting.
Controls the sequence of toolpath passes during surface machining.
Offset.
The point towards which the tool is oriented can be offset from the Rotary Axis by the specified value . It can be specified to improve the cutting conditions. The offset can be defined as absolute value or as the percents of the tool diameter. It can be positive or negative.
Machining levels:
It defines the range along tool axis for the machining.
Transformations:
Parameter's kit of operation, which allow to execute converting of coordinates for calculated within operation the trajectory of the tool. See more.
