This task shows how to insert a
Recess Turning operation in the
program.
To create the operation you must define:
|
||
 |
Open the Lathe01.CATPart document, then select Machining > Lathe Machining from the Start menu. Make the Manufacturing Program current in the specification tree. | ||
 |
1. |
Select
the Recess Turning icon
 .
A Recess Turning entity along with a default tool is added to the program.
|
 |
 |
The part and stock in the icon are colored red indicating that this geometry is required. | ||
| 2. | Click the red part in the icon
then select the desired part profile in the 3D window.
Select the stock in the same way. |
||
| 3. | Select the Strategy tab
page  to
specify the main machining strategy parameters:
|
|
|
| 4. | Double-click Max depth of cut in the
icon.
Set this value to 10mm in the Edit Parameter dialog box and click OK. |
||
| Other optional parameters can be set in the Options tab (lead-in and so on). | |||
|
|
A tool is proposed by default when you want
to create a machining operation. If the proposed tool is not suitable,
just select the Tool tab page
 to specify the
tool you want to use. This is described in Edit the Tool of a Lathe Operation. |
||
| 5. | Select the Feeds and
Speeds tab page
 to specify the
feedrates and spindle speeds for the operation.
See Feeds and Speeds for Recess Turning for more information. |
||
| 6. | If
you want to specify approach and retract motion for the operation, select
the Macros tab page
 to specify the
desired transition paths. Approach linking and retract linking motions are interruptible for this type of operation. See Define Macros on a Lathe Operation for more information. |
||
|
|
Before accepting the operation, you should check its validity by replaying the tool path. | ||
| 7. | Click OK to create the operation. | ||
