Multi Axis Flank Contouring 2

  1. Select the Part Surface, Drive Surface, Guide, Start Point, and Stop Point.
  2. Select a Ø10 mm Flat End Mill as the cutting tool.
  3. Set the Tool Path Style to One Way.
  4. Set the Distance Between Paths to 5 mm.
  5. Set the Number of Paths to 1.
  6. Set the Guidance Mode to Mixed Combin.
  7. Activate the Approach, Retract, and Return options.
  8. For Approach, set Axial Motion Up to a Plane, Motion to a Point, Tool Axis Motion, and set the Tolerance to 50 mm.
  9. For Return in a Level, configure Retract and Approach with Axial Motion Up to a Plane and Motion to a Point.
  10. Compute the toolpath and run the first machining simulation to verify the tool movement, check for collisions, and ensure the machining operation is correct.
  11. Copy the completed machining operation and paste it to create a second operation.
  12. Re-select the Part Surface, Drive Surface, Guide, Start Point, and Stop Point for the copied operation.
  13. Recompute the toolpath and run the second machining simulation to confirm that the copied operation produces the required machining result without errors.
