Bar feeding

Application area:

The bar feeding operation is essential in modern machining for automating the production process. Its main purpose is to continuously and automatically feed long metal bars into a machine tool — most commonly a CNC turning centre or lathe.

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 mor

Strategy:

Bar overhang.

The axial distanse between the spindle base point and the tool tip point.

BO - Bar overhang

Tool touch position.

The touch position of the tool tip point in the workpiece coordinate system (G54).

X,Y,Z. - The X,Y,Z axis of the specified coordinate system is the Rotary Axis.

Start with target.

Enable. When the part was displaced, the coordinate system remained in place.

Disable. When the part was displaced, the coordinate system moved with it.

WCS Use canned cycle.

Enable. The bar transferring process will be formalized as a cycle for the further analysis in the postprocessor

Disable. The bar transferring process will be output as a sequence of elementary commands

Physic output.

Click here to expand..

Enable. Physicgoto command and physic coordinates are used to move the machine axes

Disable. Multigoto or Goto commands and coordinates are generated to move the machine axes

Initial clamp

The clamping device that initially holds the part. Special CLData commands for clamping/unclamping the device are output automatically. Parameter group works similarly to the Turn take over operations. Details
