Function(CAM)
3DPROFILE creates data which are used for machining along 3D profile lines/curves of a press die with the trimming blade, and for machining an undercut section. It creates paths that enable a tool blade to cut without causing interference against any portions of modelled shapes or a Structure. The prevention of interference used to be an issue in the manufacturing field. (Note that a Structure refers to a ferrous die for accepting a press die 'Insert'.)
Paths for performing contour machining with a trimming blade can be created through the use of the side of tool.
Paths to perform Thrust Machining with a trimming blade are created through the use of Vertical Tools.
A path for machining an undercut section where it is as wide as a trimming blade can be created, provided that the blade position of undercut machining tool is controlled.
The machining methods create a path that enables the use of an undercut machining tool without causing interference against the trimming blade. The path continues to be as wide as the width of trimming blade. The path also supports re-iteration of a thrust machining of undercut portions.
Paths for roughly machining steel materials can be created by executing the command for machining contours or Thrust machining.
Paths for performing helical machining for long holes or anomalous holes can be created in accordance with the outlines of holes.
The capability of trochoid machining has been provided in order to decrease the tool load of cutting corners.
Check functions have been provided in order to prevent machining troubles such as tool breakage.
Interference Check
Interference can checked between a tool (blade edge or tool holder) and a model surface or a seat surface when paths are created. Safe paths without tool interference can be automatically created; it is a man-saving process. If any interference is caused around a tool holder, an optimum (shortest) ejection length of the tool is calculated.
Check of Tool Effective Length
A tool breakage can be prevented by comparing the effective cutting length of a blade against the width of cut. A shorter effective length than the width of cut will cause a tool breakage. In this case, the necessary effective length (safe effective length) is calculated.
Check of Maximum Tilt Angle
This function prevents a machining tool from suffering a surge of stress due to a rapid change in angle of the titling areas where it is operated.
This automatically avoids interference between a product and a tool.
This function limits an area subject to machining through the use of inclination angles of Profile Lines and a cutter width.
This function automatically creates constituents for a part subject to machining, based upon Profile Line colors and types, belt surface colors and machining features. Thus, the function automatically creates paths from rough machining to finishing machining.
Refer to Solids
This refers to a solid shape in the stage of a design process, and use it in order to automatically create lines such as Profile Lines and Range Demarkation Lines composed of 3D Profile Curves based upon 2D Profile Curves. Thus, preparations partly by creating a Range Demarkation Line based upon 2D Profile Curves projected on a product will not be needed. any longer.
Standard Procedures Automatic Decision
This function automatically assigns a standard procedure composed of machining processes to automatcially specified constitutents of machining-subject part.
This command automatically identifies a presence or absence of interference around a cutting tool at the top of a machining process tree and a presence or absence of islands that requires separate machining paths for the islands. Thus, it automatically decides an optimum standard procedure.
