Let's create a program for CoroTurn® PI
First, select your measurement system
Set the project name. A good name helps you find the project in the future.
Define the type of operation.
Select your machine, or create a new one.
Define your workpiece profile by importing a CAD model, or directly from Coordinates.
Define the stock via a CAD model, from Coordinates,
or start with a Round bar based on the workpiece.
Select the workpiece material. This helps to find the right insert and cutting data.
Select a tool by first selecting the holder type,
and then the tool size. A larger bar gives higher process stability.
Select the roughing and finishing inserts. Only inserts that fit the selected tool are shown.
Start values for selected inserts are selected directly.
If the values are adjusted, the tool path is recalculated.
Click Simulate to verify that no collisions occur.
The simulation speed can be adjusted.
It's also possible to follow the movements in the NC viewer.
Roughing and Corner cleanup have separate cutting data sets,
so it's possible to have multiple cleanup passes for each roughing pass.
Click in the NC code to look closer at a certain tool position,
or click on a line to see the connected line of the NC code.
Each groove and undercut is evaluated.
If it can be machined completely, a tool path is generated.
Otherwise, the feature is ignored.
Once the tool path looks good, the NC code can be downloaded,
or copied to be pasted in another file.
