Application area:

The operation is designed to prepare the uneven face of workpiece (left or right). The material is removed by the vertical tool motions stroke by stroke.

Setup:

The Setup tab is used to configure the primary parameters of the project. This can involve the positioning of the part on the equipment, the coordinate system of the part, and more. See more

Job assignment:

Facing. This allows programming the machining of the end face of a workpiece with a single command. The trajectory is formed in the same way as when specifying Contour or Contour Repeat cycles. However, the trajectory is automatically calculated based on the current blank and workpiece, ensuring correct machining of either the left or right end face. 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.

Restrictions. It allows you to restrict areas that should not be machined. See more

CycleParams:

This parameter group works similarly to the OD Roughing and ID Roughing operations. See more

Feeds/Speeds:

Using this dialogue the user can define the spindle rotation speed; the rapid feed value and the feed values for different areas of the toolpath. Spindle rotation speed can be defined as either the rotations per minute or the cutting speed. The defining value will be underlined. The second value will be recalculated relative to the defining value, with regard to the tool diameter. See more

Transformations:

Parameter's kit of operation, which allow to execute converting of coordinates for calculated within operation the trajectory of the tool. See more

Part:

A Part is a group of geometrical elements that defines the space to check for gouges. See more

Workpiece:

A workpiece model of an operation defines the material to be machined. See more

Fixtures:

As the Fixtures the fixing aids such as chucks, grips, clamps, etc., and the restriction areas of any other nature are usually specified. See more
