Rotate the model so as to ensure that the entire trajectory lies in the plane bone corresponding to the
predetermined level. The law of the tool in the levels - is cutting template. To disassemble the various
cutting templates, use only one level (for clarity). Templates are defined in fixed dialog operations mainly
in group 4 (Fig. 2.3). Possible values pattern cutting shown in Fig. 2.7.

Other template parameters are described in the cutting parameters (parameter group, denoted

Now back to the levels of cut....
Again, set the type and range of automatic cutting levels - permanent (as in Fig. 2.4). as

If a model has flat sections, but they are small, for example on some
Massing rigging, it is advisable to select a range of 1. for this

Now illustrate the possibility to set different depth of cut in various ranges
tries. Since the conditions for the tool in the lower range is worse than the top (there is no way
of the approach side), to reduce the depth of cut in the lower range.
Set the depth of cut in the lower range of 3 mm and click OK (Fig. 2.12).

Tab allowance is very important (Fig. 2.16). It specifies the tolerance and allowance. Tolerance - a point
of with which the calculation is performed. In NX 2 uses tolerance values: tolerance inside and eg

calculation is carried out as a sequence of rectilinear motions, separated from the curve in
the tolerance; deviation as possible to the body of the model (tolerance inside) and the model
(Admission to the outside). Excessive greatly increases the accuracy of the computation time, the size of
programs.
Therefore, the accuracy is usually determined by technological considerations.
Allowance - is the amount of material that you want to leave on a model for later
processing. In operation CAVITY_MILL you can specify a different allowance at the bottom and on the
walls.
There are also other types of oversize such control allowance; it will be considered,
when we will focus on the control of geometry.
We need at this stage parameters and tolerance allowance is framed. a closed
mentioned padlock indicates that the tolerance and allowance inherited from the parent group

that the values of these parameters are set, although they are not explicitly asked. However, for-
GDS want to change these settings in the operation. If you change the lock will be shown relative
indoor, t. e. the inheritance relationship is broken.
Tab angles (Fig. 2.17) contains parameters that affect the behavior of the tool in acute
trajectory angles. Smoothing possible angles braking corners. For high-speed ob-
processing smoothing sharp edges is one of the main requirements to the trajectory.
Connection tab contains settings to optimize transitions between different
cutting areas. On our model shows one area of cut, and these settings are not
involved.
Limits tab imposes restrictions on the work in the field of cutting tools

Specify a point, as in Fig. 3.29. Point is tied to the edge, so do not forget about the options bindings.
Click OK, and then regenerate the trajectory. As the entry point circuit to be used for

 Processing undercuts
An important feature of operations is FACE_MILLING
processing capability in undercuts fungal cutter.
Consider this possibility.
Open the sample face_milling_undercut_setup_1.prt. In this project,
already initialized, given item in the group WORKPIECE.
As a tool set fungal (T-shaped) mill, its vapor
ters are shown in Fig. 3.30.
Create operation FACE_MILLING_AREA. For processing podnut-
rhenium in the cutting parameters, enable Processing
undercuts (Fig. 3.31) and generate the operation. The Result
operation is shown in Fig. 3.32.
Processing inclined faces
Consider another important feature of operations Fresnel
zerovaniya faces - the ability to process inclined Gram
it without creating additional coordinate systems. Along the way,
illustrate the effect of parameter Ignore chamfer
when selecting faces.

Open the sample prihvat1_setup_1.prt. This project has already been initialized, given item in the group

Create operation FACE_MILLING. Set both parameters (ignore the hole and ignore the fas-

trajectory. Click OK again to save the operation.
Copy operation. Redefine the brink of a new operation, the inclined face, and generate
operation. The tool will be installed along the normal to the face, and the path is created (Fig. 3.34).
Specifically set orientation of the tool is not necessary, as the default orientation
tion tool given normal first (given) face. The remaining parameter values

this operation should be along the top or bottom edges of the selected faces. Strictly speaking,
a 3-axis operation, but it is often used on 2.5-axis tasks

Note. If you use a non-planar edge,

operation will be a 3-axis.

it - top or bottom) and offset depth - Z.
Open the sample top_clamp_setup_1.prt.
Let's make the operation SOLID_PROFILE_3D. Specify the edge, as
Fig. 3.38, and generate operation. The result is shown in Fig. 3.39.
It is possible to follow the top krom-
ke also possible multi-pass option.
