FEATURE RECOGNITION
The drill_pocket_recognition_IV.prz example illustrates the use of
InventorCAM Automatic Feature Recognition to machine the mold base part
shown above. The machining is performed on a 3-axis CNC machine.
The following InventorCAM operations are created to perform the machining:
• Top face machining (FM_facemill)
This Face Milling operation performs the machining of the top
face of the cover. A face mill of Ø40 is used.
• Pockets machining (PR_selected_faces)
This Pocket Recognition operation automatically recognizes all
the pocket areas in the model and performs their machining. An
end mill of Ø20 is used. The Open Pocket machining is used to
perform the approach movement from an automatically calculated
point outside of the material. The tool descends to the necessary
depth outside of the material and then moves horizontally into the
material. A special machining strategy is applied to the through
pockets; they are deepened in order to completely machine the
pocket.
