6.1 TURN PLUS Mode of Operation
TURN PLUS enables you to describe the workpiece blank and finished
part in a graphic-interactive environment. Then you can have the
working plan generated fully automatically or generate it yourself
interactively. The result is a commented and structured NC program.
TURN PLUS features:
„ Graphic-interactive contour definition
„ Set-up functions (for chucking the workpiece)
„ Interactive working plan generation (IWG)
„ Automatic working plan generation (AWG)
For
„ Turning operations
„ Drilling and milling with the C axis
„ Drilling and milling with the Y axis
„ Full-surface machining
TURN PLUS concept
The workpiece description is the basis for working plan generation.
The strategy for generating the working plan is specified in the
machining sequence. The machining parameters define details of
machining. This allows you to adapt TURN PLUS to your individual
needs.
TURN PLUS generates the working plan, which takes technology
attributes such as oversizes, tolerances, peak-to-valley height, etc.
into account. Each entry and working step are displayed and can be
corrected immediately.
On the basis of workpiece blank regeneration, TURN PLUS
optimizes the paths for approach and avoids idle cuts or collisions
between workpiece and cutting edge.
For tool change, TURN PLUS provides the following strategies:
„ Automatic selection from the tool database
„ Use of the current turret assignment
„ TURN PLUS turret assignment
When clamping the workpiece, TURN PLUS determines the cutting
limitations and the zero point shift for the NC program.
The technology database provides the cutting data for the AWG/IWG.
