Roughing Tool Path for Indexable Radius Tool
To perform indexable tools more efficiently, a new roughing pattern of
"Round 2" has been added in the Machining Condition sheet of "Z-level
Rough Cutting with Multiple Tools".
< Feature >
1) Round path with lead-in from outside can be achieved,
reducing the slanting lead-in path.
2) Movement of the tool path for remains is improved,
extending the tool path outside in stead of circular.
3) "Connecting Move" makes tool-path more efficient.
4) “Run-over amount“ from work-edge can be specified.
High-efficient roughing tool path, which reduces the degradation
of cutting tools, can be also created, using enhanced feed-rate
control function for out-side of stock simultaneously.
Climb-up Roughing in “Z-level High Efficiency Rough Cutting”
Climb-up roughing function has been added as a new variation of “Z-level High
Efficiency Rough Cutting”. High-performance roughing can be achieved by using
blade length of the tool efficiently. It enables to reduce 40% of machining time
compared from conventional Z-level roughing.
< Feature >
Roughing step-over for each Z-level varies up to “Max. variable step over”,
considering cutting-load from “XY step over”.
Variables for Profile Setting
5 types of variables for tool shape & standard values has been available. When a calculation
formula using the variables is input as parameter value, calculation result can be specified
automatically as the parameter value.
< Example for usage of machining template with Tooling DB & Variables >
After preparing Tooling DB with machining condition for stock material, profile parameter values
can be set automatically when selecting a cutting tool for each stock material from Tooling DB into
a cutting profile with variables. Saving template for each stock material is no longer necessary in
combination with Tooling DB & cutting profile using variables.
Enhancement of Calculation Process Sheet
●Control Calc. Mode
Display items can be added & selected. It has been also possible to
change parameter values in plural processes at once directly, etc.
●Edit Profile Mode (New)
Using of “Edit Profile Mode” enables the operators to check and edit
the profile parameters without opening the calculation condition sheet.
Maintenance for Templates
Editor for templates has been enhanced drastically.
Functions of “Display all profile info”, “Direct
parameter input”, “List-up processes”, “Editing plural
profiles” and etc. are added. Moreover, setting items
in control window can be changed in the editor.
Calc. Time of “Check Interference” for 5-axis CL
Box Cycle Cutting
As a dedicated machining strategy for vertical walls, “Box Cycle
Cutting” has been newly released. Considering slide direction of
the mold, wall surfaces can be machined by vertical milling.
Cutting area is defined by contours of 3D curve.
Improvement of calc. logic makes processing time faster,
that reduces operation time for simultaneous 5-axis CL.

Machining Process Sheet for Web Browser
Usable cooling code has been expanded. Variety of M code can be
output by pre-registering of customized cooling type.
Machining process sheet & tool list can be created as
HTML file, and shown on Web browser. Illustration of CL for
each process also can be included in the process sheet.
Show Hidden Lines / Remove Hidden Lines
Enhancement of “Expand Surface”
“Show Hidden Lines” & “Remove Hidden Lines” have been added
as view type, improving visibility & operability.
[Specifying plural surfaces] & [Auto extension for trimmed
surface] have been available in “Expand Surface”, adding
some types for expanding. Results of expanding can be
confirmed in advance by pre-view in advance, which
enables to reduce operation time for modeling.
