5-axis Machining
Exercise 18:
1. Load the CAM-Part: Exercises\Tool_Contact_point\blade.prt.
2. Simulate the CAM-Part. This part is machined
using the 4 axis CNC machine. The blade is
twisted and if the tool is positioned tangentially
to the surface, the tool path will not be parallel.
It is possible to define a parallel tool path by
using the Run tool option.
3. Edit the 5-axis operation and switch to the
Finish parameters page.
4. Set the Tool Contact point option to At center.
