Shaft machining
For shafts, TURN PLUS supports rear-face machining of outside
contours in addition to standard machining processes. This enables
shafts to be completely machined using one setup.
TURN PLUS does not support retracting the tailstock and does not
check the setup used.
Precondition for shaft machining: The workpiece is clamped at
spindle and tailstock.
Separation point (TR)
The separation point (TR) divides the workpiece into front and rear
area. If no separation point has been specified, TURN PLUS sets a
separation point at the transition from the largest to a smaller
diameter. Position the separation points on outside corners.
Tools for machining the
„ Area on front side: Main machining direction –Z; or primarily “left”
recessing or tapping tools, etc.
„ Area on rear side: Main machining direction +Z; or primarily “right”
recessing or tapping tools, etc.
Setting/changing the separation point: see “Machining attributes –
Separation point” on page 480
Danger of collision!
TURN PLUS does not monitor for collisions during
transverse machining or machining operations on the end
face.
