SIM. 5-AXIS MACHINING
The sim_5_axis_2_IV.prz example illustrates the use of the Sim. 5 axis
operation for an aerospace part machining.
A number of Sim. 5 axis operations are defined in order to perform the finish
machining of the inclined faces of the aerospace frame and their adjacent
fillets. The inclined faces are forming an undercut area that cannot be machined
using 3 axis milling; we have to use 5 axis milling, with the appropriate tilting
strategy, to machine the inclined faces.
• Inclined walls finishing
(5X_selected_faces_1; 5X_selected_faces_2;
5X_selected_faces_3)
These operations perform the finish machining of the inclined
walls.
A ball nosed tool of Ø4 is used for the operation.
The Parallel Cuts strategy is used to generate a number of cuts
parallel to the XY plane of the coordinate system.
The tool tilting is defined using the Tilted relative to cutting
direction option with a lag angle of 90°. These parameters
enable you to perform the machining with the side face of the
tool.
