Multi-Pocket Machining in a Nutshell

Multi-Pocket Machining will propose a process-focused solution to machine Cavity Parts dedicated to Mechanical and Aerospace industries:
  • Rough to finish pockets of machined part with only one tool and one tool path,
  • Roughing with over-thickness, finishing sides.

The present version offers you the following capacities:

  • roughing of center area,
  • machining of center area floors,
  • user-defined pre-engagement motion and post retract motion for center machining
  • back and forth strategy with cornerization and management of the tool loading (several contouring passes, no full diameter cuts with back and forth passes),
  • helical and concentric strategy,
  • slow down feedrate in sharp corners and inside arcs for helical strategy,
  • arc interpolation in tool path,
  • support of rework technology,
  • stay on bottom option.
