Like the pen in a Spirograph, the trochoidal toolpath is circular rather linear. The user pinned to a piece of paper a plastic ring with gear teeth cut into the inner and outer diameters, then placed another smaller geared plastic ring on either side, inserted a ballpoint pen, and moved the smaller ring around the larger one. Think also of the 1960s-era Spirograph toy that produces colorful roulette curves.
This is the principle on which trochoidal milling is based. Each revolution produces a trochoidal movement. If we applied enough force to bring it back to earth, the satellite would spiral downward. Imagine a satellite orbiting the earth at a constant height. Lubricants, Coolants, Metalworking Fluids.Computerized Maintenance Management Systems.Abrasives, Belts, Brushes, Grinding Wheels.Sources: Press materials received from the company and additional information gleaned from the company’s website. Other new enhancements include new dynamic milling techniques that constantly adjust the toolpath, dynamic contouring to remove material along walls, and enhanced feature based machining (FBM) enhancements.įor more information, visit CNC Software’s Mastercam site. Multiaxis machining - Mastercam X5 allows users to choose the basic type of work they’re doing using illustrations, and then provides a step-by-step process for defining how to cut the part.Users can select the appropriate ISCAR cutting tool from the library and the optimum information, feeds, and speed are calculated automatically. ISCAR Support - Mastercam includes specific support for ISCAR’s High Efficiency Machining (HEM) tools.Large, aggressive cuts are followed by fast, smaller up-cuts. New surface toolpath - Mastercam’s 3D surface high speed OptiRough toolpath is a new technique designed to remove large amounts of material quickly using its successful dynamic milling motion.
This new toolpath evaluates the model shape and switches between Constant Z cutting and Constant Scallop machining. Smart Hybrid Finishing - Hybrid finishing blends two cutting techniques into a single toolpath.Some of the most significant highlights and new functionality in Mastercam X5 Mill include: Smart Hybrid Finishing, new dynamic milling techniques, and ISCAR support combine with dozens of additional new enhancements in a package intended to improve shop floor productivity. CNC Software’s Mastercam X5 Mill offers expanded machining flexibility and an increased emphasis on speed and automation.
