OPERATIONS USED FORFace

Face milling

2D Adaptive Clearing

Geometry milling (open or closed geometry).

2D Pocket

Pocket milling (only closed geometry).

2D Contour

Contour milling, only periphery.

Slot

Slot milling (selecting slot at their edges).

Thread

Thread milling of cylindrical pockets and islands, not for tapping.

Circular Circular milling of cylindrical pockets and islands.

HSMWORKS MANUAL

Bore

Bore milling of cylindrical pockets and islands, not valid for using a counterbore.

2D Chamfer

Chamfering edges (chamfer mill).

Engrave

Engraving with V-shaped chamfered walls (chamfer mill).

3D MILLING:http://help.autodesk.com/view/INVHSM/2016/ENU/?guid=GUID-FF288360-F083-48B8-80F9-4AED5ED257EA

OPERATIONS USED FORAdaptive clearing

Roughing strategy available for clearing large quantities of material effectively.It can also be used for rest machining.

Pocket Clearing

Similar to adaptive clearing, different strategy.

Horizontal

Roughing and/or finishing of flat horizontal areas using the pocket clearing strategy.

Contour

Finishing operations of steep areas at constant Z levels.

Paralell

Finishing operations of shallow (non-steep) areas with passes parallel in the XY plane and following the surface in the Z-direction

Scallop

Finishing constant stepover (ae) operation.

Pencil Finishing rest machining operation using constant stepover (ae) toolpaths.

HSMWORKS MANUAL

Radial

Finishing operation using radial toolpaths.

Spiral

Finishing operation using spiral toolpaths, useful in round and shallow (non-steep) areas.

Morphed Spiral

Similar to Spiral.

Ramp

Similar to Contour, but using a ramp instead of constant Z levels to move down the wall.

Project

Finishing engraving (text or symbol) operation. The provided contours are always projected onto the surface and therefore do not have to be on the surface

3. POST PROCESSING

MACHINING TIME & TOOL LIBRARY CALCULUS:

Two ways:

Post-processing MGEP_setup-sheet.cps HTML file Print to PDF file. Right bottom on Job or operation Generate Setup Sheet HTML file Print to

PDF file.

POST PROCESSING:

Post-processing MGEP_fagor_2016_05_04.cpsIMPORTANT NOTES:

o Deactivate all vertical Lead-in & Lead-outs.o Introduce the appropriate F & S values to each tool.o Once post-processed, it is interesting to activate Look-ahead block (G51 A255

E0.001) whenever a 3D geometry is being machined in order to have smooth movements. If helical interpolation is programmed (e.g. linking “Ramping: helix”), when machining in a Fagor 8050 control, the CNC may give an error, and the use of G05 instead of G51 is recommeded.

o When machining with large file size programs (>300KB), Fagor 8050 machines may require to be used in infinite mode.
