Rough,Semi-finish,Finish

[camtd]

<DIV>Hi</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Is it possible to apply a strategy of a Rough, Semi-finish and Finish to geometry to</DIV>
<DIV>be milled in a Volume sequence? </DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I guess it would be 3 sequences but I would like to apply them to geometry to let the software do more of the work and automate.</DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Thank You</DIV>

in volume milling u can achieve the roughing strategy by keeping the rough option to rough only and scan type to constant load.

high speed finishing can me achieved by keeping the rough option to pocketing and scan type to constant load or to spiral. it depends hw u want.

But semifinishing to be done by creating a local milling(previous nc sequence) sequence only.

Your semi-finish can be achieved by selecting PROFILE_ONLY and setting PROFILE_ALLOWANCE to .010 or whatever stock that you want to leave.

But profiling doesnt cut from flat area.Suppose if he has a flat area at bottom or some where. it many not be cut by profiling.

for that u have to go for pocketing only,

but profiling and pocketing dont do the function of local milling

Hi


i agreed with allanp, one thing more i would like to add up, Volume Milling vs Roughing, Re-roughing, Finishing, both of the strategies have their own capabilities.


To get the exactly same result by one strategies as by the other is little bit tricky and time consuming, but possible

Hi Guys


I think, in normal conditions, rough re-rough and finish is best practice, bcoze u can save time by adding more re-roughing sequences, and in each sequence u can reference it by previous rough or re-rough sequence, so u can use large, then small, then more small cutter when u have a large machining area. so each re-roughing will cut the material only left by reference sequence. In some cases volume is adviseable too.
