4-Axis Programming Example

This simple example tapers in two directions creating a non-removable slug.

Two cuts will be used to remove the slug.

Cut 1 will be all material within the blue line and the slug will be removed upward.

Cut 2 will be the whole object and the slug will be removed downward.

All skim cuts will be on Cut 2.

 


Red line is the bottom Z5
Blue line is the top Z1

This example took about 3 minutes to produce the output code without editing.

Cut 1

 
Cut 2

Yellow lines represent 2-axis cutting         Cyan represents 4-axis cutting
