Thus, the XĪxis of our coordinate system must be the rotating axis. In our case, we have aĬylindrical part, and one of the axis of the machine is rotating around X axis. The coordinate system on the part must reflect the machine axis. Our part will rotate around X axis and the head will tilt around Y axis. The following figureĮxplains the industry standard nomenclature that is used to represent axis: In our case, the rotaryĪxis of the table is around X axis. As we have a cylindrical part, it is advisable to use the DMU 100 Monoblock kind of a machine which has a tilting head and a rotary table. Although a standard Table-Table Machine would serve the purpose, it is better to machine this on a Head-Table configuration The periphery of the part and also cut some pockets. In this example, if you closely observe the part, you will notice that we need to machine Of the post/machine depends on the part to be machined and the availability of the Select the post processor/machine that will be used to machine the part. In the SolidCAM environment, do the following steps before defining the first 5 Path and Name of the SolidWorks part file. If a CAM part already exists, then SolidCAM uses the suffixes -1, -2 to The name of the part is always derived from the SolidWorks


That you select Use Model file directory check box. In the “User” directory located in /root/Program Files/SolidCAM/. If the box is not checked, it stores the project In the location of the SolidWorks part file. If the Use Model file directory check box is checked, SolidCAM saves the entire project The post processor and machine simulation files remain intact even when the SolidCAMĬlick OK to exit the SolidCAM Settings window. The advantage of creating separate folders is that But, it is a good practice to create separate folders in the root directory for the post processor and the machine simulation. Path: /root/Program Files/SolidCAM/Gpptool. By default, the post processor files and the machine simulation files are located on this In SolidCAM Settings, you must concentrate on the following 2 tabs in the settings area: You to select the right post processor and the machine associated with the post processor. Before starting SolidCAM, you need to do the following settings that will enable To understand the parallel strategy of 5 axis machiningĭouble click the SolidWorks icon and open Basic Training.SLDPRT part. To understand the basic parameters used in defining the toolpath To understand the advanced concepts of 5 Axis To understand post settings and machine simulation settings
