The fast and efficient removal of large quantities of material is an important prerequisite for economical production. The vectorcam multi-axis module contains sophisticated strategies for 5-axis roughing of your workpieces.
Each function offers a wide range of options for approach/departure and linking, including collision control for tool and holder. Machining is carried out using “bottom parallel cuts”, “top surface parallel” or “morphing between bottom and top surfaces”. The cutter paths run parallel to the contour or adaptive/trochoidal (HSC milling).
Other highlights include residual material roughing, blank-dependent machining to avoid unnecessary air cuts and tool axis control.
Multi-axis roughing
The 5-axis milling used in vectorcam is the most widely used module on the market. Numerous machining strategies generate perfect surfaces and short tool paths. The integrated collision check for the tool including holder and the various tilting methods prevent unnecessary machine movements and guarantee optimum NC programs.
Machining is carried out using parallel cuts, between two curves or surfaces, along a curve or UV-oriented and many more. In all 5-axis finishing operations, a wide range of sophisticated options are available for a wide variety of settings. Linking the cutter paths, soft approach and departure, smoothing methods, etc. are just a small selection of the possibilities. So you are equipped for all eventualities!
5-axis finishing
Swarf milling is the most frequently used function in 5-axis milling. By using the entire cutting edge length of the tool, a high surface quality and a very short machining time are possible.
Torus, cylindrical, spherical or conical milling tools can be used for machining. In most cases, an integrated automatic system takes care of the correct synchronization for tool guidance along the surfaces to be milled. In addition, the user also has a large selection of adjustable options to choose from. This ensures perfect machining of your components at all times.
Swarf milling
In the simulation, the workpiece, the stock, tool paths, tools including holders, clamping devices, etc. are displayed. Numerous setting options allow a wide variety of representations, including machine simulation. The entire machining process can therefore be fully controlled on the PC.
This not only reduces your machine downtimes, but also increases safety throughout the entire process.
Numerous functions and analyses display information such as machining times, maximum travel paths/ranges, various measuring functions, color-coded analyses, etc.
The simulation can be carried out in a single block, subsequent block or per machining operation. The user can jump directly: to the next operation, to a selected operation, directly to the end, and so on.
