Introducing!

X5 Lathe Enhancements




• Tool inspection for Roughing added




• User controls:

– Tool check position

– Checkingconditions

– Any combination;

1st encountered

will be used

• Comments can beadded**




• User controls:

– If Length of cut or

Time in cut areused, user canspecify when to

retract tool

• Only betweenpasses

• Exact length and

time




• Post outputsstop code (M00)

• User commentappears in NC

file




• Files:

– ROUGH TOOL INSPECTION.MCX-5




• Turn profile enhancements




• Use solidproperties added:

– Accesses Parasolidkernel directly

– Provides faster,

more accurate

profile




• Old method

– Multiple arc segments with different

radii and centers– Other inaccuracies




• New method

– Much faster, more accurate geometry

– Note that the internal crosssection was also found




• Files:

– TURN PROFILE.MCX-5




• Cutoff toolpath improvements




• Entry and retract now can becalculated from stock:

– Lead in/outs handled automatically– No need for extra geometry creation




• Back face stock added:

– Leaves material for facing operation

on sub-spindle– No need for extra geometry creation




• Secondary feed rate and spindlespeed added:

– Allows increase in speed toaccommodate for smaller radii

– User selects radius to apply new

settings




• Files:

– CUTOFF ENHANCEMENTS.MCX-5




• Front clearance added to plungeparameters

– Allows clearanceangle to be usedregardless ofchain direction or

tool orientation




• Control compensationoptimization

– Removes internal arcssmaller than toolradius from code forcontrols that dont

support this condition




• With Optimize

– Tool radius is .03125

– Note that .02radius is gone

• Without Optimize

– Tool radius is .03125

– Note .02 radius




• Files:

– CCOMP ENHANCEMENT.MCX-5
