Using the control of rotary axes are used to create details such as turbine blades, screws, Camshafts and crankshafts. These processes are widespread in aviation applications, automotive, oil and gas mining as well as in the production of more complex parts and decorative figures.
Sprutcam has a wide range of rotation and processing parameters that allow you to get all kinds of components described above, taking into account the specific characteristics of production of details and features of machine tools (3-axis machining centers with 4th axis of rotation in continuous or motorized Lathes).
The key feature of this operation is that along with the 3 linear axes is used primarily on rotating fourth axis, holding fixed the fifth axis if present on the machine. In some cases the fifth axis may still be used.
Main technological parameters of the milling operation with rotary axes:
- Route calculation using roughing
- Generation of linear, circular or spiral toolpath
- Calculation of the contact point of the tool taking into account the position of the tool-normal to the surface at each point, normal to the axis of rotation.
- Definition of tool tilt angle according to the selected tool and subject to the normal position of the tool.
- Tool path generation of all surfaces that belong to a group of individual surfaces or any part
In SprutCAM routing is calculated taking into account the disposal of equipment created as a 3D model. The calculation takes into account the equipment as part of overall movement in order to completely control the movements and any contact between them. This will check the collision between the work piece and other objects (and other devices), the models of which are inscribed on the list of ' Equipment '.
The Rough from work can be defined in the form of block, cylinder, rough with any stock or as a triangulation of residual material remaining from a previous processing, or even in the form of free geometric model as a 3D solid or surface set.
