CAM

Описание

The Drilling tool generates a drilling Operation in the Job.

Above: CAM Drilling operation sample

Применение

1. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Press the CAM Drilling button.
   • Select the CAM → Drilling option from the menu.
   • Currently, any faces or edges selected before invoking the Drilling operation are ignored during initial hole selection.
   • It is best to ensure a suitable drill is already included in the Job Tools before starting. This improves initial hole selection.
2. In the Operation section:
   • Select a ToolController.
   • Select a Coolant Mode.
   • Optionally enable and adjust the following:
     • Peck set the Depth.
     • Dwell set the Time in seconds.
     • Extended Depth.
3. In the Base Geometry section confirm that the list matches the holes that are intended for processing, and adjust add, enable, or disable, as necessary. Holes can be added by selecting the wall faces of the Holes.
4. In the Depths section check, and if required adjust, the Start Depth and Final Depth.
5. In the Heights section check, and if required adjust, the Safe Height and the Clearance Height.
6. Press the OK button to generate the drilling path(s).

Примечания

• When using edges for Base Geometry, always select the bottom edge of the hole.
• Always verify the tool chosen is the correct diameter for the hole(s) selected.
• Peck disabled generates (G81 canned drill cycles). Peck enabled generates (G83 canned drill cycles).
• Dwell enabled is currently unsupported, but is intended to generate (G82 canned drill cycles).

Свойства

Note : Not all of these Properties are available in the Task Window Editor. Some are only accessible in the Data tab of the Properties View panel for this Operation.

Base

Note: It is suggested that you do not edit the Placement property of path operations. Rather, move or rotate the CAM Job model as needed.

• ДанныеPlacement: Overall placement[position and rotation] of the object - with respect to the origin (or origin of parent object container)
  • ДанныеAngle: Angle in degrees applied to rotation of the object around Axis property value
  • ДанныеAxis: Axis (one or multiple) around which to rotate the object, set in sub-properties: X, Y, Z
    • ДанныеX: X-axis value
    • ДанныеY: Y-axis value
    • ДанныеZ: Z axis value
  • ДанныеPosition: Position of the object, set in sub-properties: X, Y, Z - with respect to the origin (or origin of parent object container)
    • ДанныеX: X-distance value
    • ДанныеY: Y-distance value
    • ДанныеZ: Z-distance value
• ДанныеLabel: User-provided name of the object (UTF-8)
• ДанныеDisabled: List of disabled features

Depth

• ДанныеClearance Height: The height needed to clear clamps and obstructions
• ДанныеFinal Depth: Final Depth of Tool- lowest value in Z
• ДанныеSafe Height: The height above which Rapid motions are allowed. (Rapid safety height between locations)
• ДанныеStart Depth: Starting depth of Tool - first cut depth in Z

Drill

• ДанныеAdd Tip Length: Calculate the tip length and subtract from final depth
• ДанныеDwell Enabled: Enable dwell
• ДанныеDwell Time: The time to dwell between peck cycles
• ДанныеPeck Depth: Incremental Drill depth before retracting to clear chips
• ДанныеPeck Enabled: Enable pecking
• ДанныеRetract Height: The height where feed starts and height during retract tool when path is finished
• ДанныеReturn Level: Controls how tool retracts Default=G98

Path

• ДанныеActive: Make False, to prevent operation from generating code
• ДанныеComment: An optional comment for this Operation
• ДанныеUser Label: User assigned label
• ДанныеTool Controller: Defines the Tool controller used in the Operation

Rotation (when available)

• ДанныеAttempt Inverse Angle: Automatically attempt Inverse Angle if initial rotation is incorrect.
• ДанныеB_Axis Error Override: Visually orient B(y) rotations to model (error in FreeCAD rendering).
• ДанныеEnable Rotation: Enable rotation to gain access to holes not normal to Z axis.
• ДанныеInverse Angle: Inverse the angle of the rotation. Example: change a rotation from -22.5 to 22.5 degrees.
• ДанныеReverse Direction: Reverse orientation of Operation by 180 degrees.
