Application area:

In the CAM system, it is possible to set various types of hole templates. It is not necessary for a template to have a geometric construction of the hole.

Using certain rules, you can define the following templates:

  • Linear

  • Circular

  • Angular

  • Concentric

  • Parallelogram


The system uses five types of pattern: <Linear>, <Circular>, <Angular>, <Concentric> and <Parallelogram>.

  • On the <Linear> page user can create linear holes pattern:

  • On the <Circular> page user can create circular holes pattern:

  • On the <Angular> page user can create linear holes pattern:

  • On the <Concentric> page user can create concentric holes pattern:

  • On the <Parallelogram> page user can create parallelogram pattern:

Using the hole patterns together with automatic determination of hole levels allows someone perform roughing machining of the part by the axial plunging strategy.
