Roughing and Reroughing

Back Next

Roughing and Reroughing NC Sequences are used specifically for high-speed mold machining. They allow different scanning strategies within single sequence

The topics covered are as follows.

Defining a new Roughing NC Sequence
Creating a Mill Window within and outside the NC Sequence and specifying its Depth
Choosing the most suitable toolpath scanning strategy
Optimizing the toolpath for high speed machining
Eliminating the sudden direction changes with the smooth transition moves
Scallop Height control
Implementing different scanning strategies within single sequence
Defining a new Reroughing NC Sequence
Simulation of two sequences in the Vericut simultaneously
How to confine the re-roughing to a desired region

Trochoidal Milling of Slots-No Sudden Direction Change, Constant Tool Engagement

High Speed Roughing-Smooth "S" Connection, Tangent Entry/Exit with Minimum Radius Control

Intelligent Recognition of Stock to avoid Air Cuts

Reroughing-Accurate Computation of Leftover Material

Material Removal Simulation of Roughing and Reroughing Sequences
