Understanding Turning Manufacturing Parameter Concepts

Manufacturing parameters enable you to control how an NC sequence is generated. It is important to understand the different ways in which you can configure manufacturing parameters. Manufacturing Parameters Theory • Control NC sequences • Examples: – CUT_FEED = 100 – SPINDLE_SPEED = 500 – STEP_DEPTH = 2.5 – SCAN_TYPE = …

Creating and Configuring Turning Workcells

The workcell specifies the type of machine used when creating NC sequences, for example, mill, lathe, or mill-turn. You must specify a workcell before you can create NC sequences. Workcell Configuration • Name • Type – Mill, Lathe, Mill-Turn, or Wire EDM • Number of Turrets • Post-Processor • Probing Option Figure 1 …
