CAMWorks Mill-Turn provides a solution for both milling and turning on the same machine tool. Allowing for increased productivity and flexibility
CAMWorks Mill-Turn multi-function machining includes milling and turning capabilities for multi-tasking machine centers.
The same Mill and Turn features identified by Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) and defined using Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR) are supported in Mill-Turn. IFR can be used to define 3 Axis features for Y-axis milling and wrapped features for cylindrical features machined by C-axis motion.
The operations that are generated for features are the same as the operations in CAMWorks 2.5 Axis Milling, 3 Axis Milling and Turning. These include automatic roughing, finishing, thread milling and single point (drilling, boring, reaming, tapping) cycles and all 3 Axis cycles.
Machining cycles are available for C, Y and B axis machining at compound angles and on the Face, ID and OD of a part.
Generates wrapped toolpath on a cylinder about the turning axis (Z). Z and C arecontrolled simultaneously while the tool stays on the centerline of the part.
Toolpath is generated on a fixed C-axis position.
For 2.5 Axis Milling, the tool moves to depth in X with Y,Z simultaneous cutting.
Toolpath is generated on a fixed C and B axis position.
For 2.5 Axis Milling, the tool moves to depth in one axis with simultaneous cutting in other axes.
