308.2.5.Milling OperationsFace MillingPocket MillingContour MillingDrill HolesHelix DrillingThread MillingMill LettersMill True type LettersCreates a facing operation based on a selected outline contour.Creates pocket operations for one or multiple pockets. Thesepockets can contain none or multiple islands. In a singleoperation, it is possible to make both roughing and finishingcuts, but only with one tool.Creates operations for contour milling. A contour operation canmachine multiple contours with roughing and finishing cuts,but only with one tool.Creates drilling operations for hole drilling. From the drawingthe hole positions can be selected with the use of a filter, orby simply indicating the hole position. If multiple holes aredrilled, they can be arranged in both rectangular and circularpatterns.Generates operations for helix drilling. Like normal drilling,multiple holes can be selected with the use of filters, or byselecting the individual circles on the drawing.Creates threading milling operations. The threads can be insideor outside, and the can be created for tools with one or multipleteeth. Again multiple threads can easily be selected with theuse of the filter function.Generates operations for milling simple letters on the drawing.These letters will have to be drawn using the simple letterfunction, but then all letters can be selected with the windowfunctions, and machined in operations based on their start andend depth.creates operations to mill the outline and/or the interior of theindividual letters. The letters can be selected with the windowfunction, and all letters with the same parameters can bemachined in one operation.
31Export ContourCalculatorCan export a contour that the operator has selected on thedrawing. If a controller has smart canned cycles for examplea specific pocket operation, the user can create a macro in theeditor to support this, and then export the actual contour forinsertion in the canned cycle.The feed and speed calculator is used to generate tool changes,or to simply calculate the feed and speed, based on the data fora specific tool.
