Mastercam USA are CNC Software has developed PC-based platform for CAD / CAM software, with low hardware configuration, operation convenient, powerful, has a shape from the parts to the tool path generation and post-processing features. Today, the processing parts tend to complex, more and more high-precision parts, CNC machining axis a few more and more manual programming can no longer meet the requirements of modern manufacturing. The use of CAM software programming has become a modern CNC machining programming improve efficiency and solve complex parts processing and effective means of multi-axis machining.
Mastercam's Lathe module, feature-rich menu, modeling convenience, the tool path is not only a variety of form cycle, thread and inner circle of rough holes, finishing, and have integrated C-axis, surface, Trench processing, C-axis in particular, are in Surface Machining, Automatic Programming can be processed without a fixed logical relationship between the surface, can not be solved by hand preparation and macro programs can not solve the problem of processing procedures. Lathe module of C-axis tool path of the two-dimensional and three-dimensional processing to expand and improve the CNC Turning Center processing range.
1 Milling composite processing applications
1.1 adapter shaft parts
As shown in Figure 1, adapter-axis parts from rectangular and shaft parts of the cuboid with the front end of the axis X-axis to the same axis, Y axis to the distance for the 4mm, eccentricity limit of deviation of ± 0.005mm. The parts require a higher geometric tolerance, parallelism and perpendicularity requirements of 0.02mm. If by car, milling processes separately processing, car parts after processing, milling fixture clamping led to duplication of positioning error, it is difficult to guarantee the geometric tolerance parts and front-end shaft axis with the rectangular shape of the eccentricity-size control in the 4 ± 0.005mm Tolerance range use and development of Mastercam software modules Lathe milling complex processing, can be one-time setup to complete all the processes, ensure product dimensional accuracy and tolerance requirements of firms.
