Therefore I told him that if he specified a zero offset the part should machine to spec. In inspection I noticed that he had entered in the radius of the cutter as the offset for the contour milling block. After running the code he stormed in all fired up telling me that the size of the pocket was off by the radius of the cutter. The technician that runs our VMC (an experienced manual machinist but somewhat new to CNC) had came in and asked me if I used a tool radius offset compensation on the contour in which i said yes.
A 3/16" 4 flute End Mill was used for generating the code. Tolerance-based machining helps achieve superior tolerance and surface finish requirements by reading MBD and PMI data and selecting the machining strategies to meet the specified tolerances.I created a program that used a contour milling cycle in finishing a pocket. Achieve consistent, high-quality manufacturing with knowledge-based machining and the TechDB, which captures and reuses your best practices for consistent results. Feature-based programming and automatic feature recognition also save programming time because CNC intelligence is built into the software to identify operations, tools, feeds/speed rates, and more. You no longer need to maintain separate CAD and CAM files because all your part data is stored in one file. Additional functionality - for 5-axis simultaneous milling, mill-turn, wire EDM, nesting, simulation, shop floor solutions, and more - are available in subsequent product levels of SOLIDWORKS CAM and CAMWorks.Reduce your programming time with fully-integrated CAD/CAM that eliminates the need to import and export CAD files into your CAM system. SOLIDWORKS CAM includes 2.5 and 3-axis milling capabilities. SOLIDWORKS CAM is powered by CAMWorks and is included in every seat of SOLIDWORKS version 2018 or later on subscription. CAMWorks and SOLIDWORKS CAM provide a truly integrated, feature-based CADCAM solution for machine shops of all sizes.
