6.12 Assigning Attributes
After the contour of a blank/finished part has been defined, individual
contour elements/contour sections can be assigned attributes. The
AWG and IWG evaluate the attributes for generating a working plan.
The machining attributes you define are transferred as cycle
parameters by the IWG.
Attributes for workpiece blanks
Attributes for workpiece blanks influence the division into machining
areas and the selection of roughing cycles in the AWG.
Assign attributes to blanks:
U Select “Workpiece > Blank > Attribute.” TURN PLUS opens the
“Surface quality” dialog box.
U Define the “Type semifinished:”
„ Cast or forged workpiece blank: Working plan generation
according to the “cast machining” strategy (first transversal, then
longitudinal roughing).
„ Preturned workpiece blank: Working plan generation according
to the standard strategy. In addition to standard machining cycles,
contour-parallel roughing cycles are used.
„ “Unknown” (or no attribute defined): Working plan generation
according to the standard strategy.
