WorkNC Modules EDM (wire erosion module): Electrodes
6. I - 3 / 3+2 AXIS ROUGHING AND RE-ROUGHING … Roughing and Re-roughing toolpaths are one of the cornerstones of WorkNC. They allow toolpath generation with reduced air cutting time, localized retracts and corner smoothing adapted for HSM. The efficiency of re-roughing strategies is constantly improved and WorkNC has the ability to machine undercut areas using 3+2 axis strategies. The 3D stock model is systematically updated allowing successive re-roughing toolpaths to be run with progressively smaller tools. WorkNC automatically determines the areas where material has to be removed using its dynamic stock model management.
14. WORKNC AUTO 5 : AUTOMATIC CONVERSION OF 3 AXIS TOOLPATH INTO 5 AXIS, Ease of Use & Automation 1 – 3 Axis toolpath creation, 2 – Selection of conversion parameters, 3 – Your 5 axis Toolpath is available after calculation. AUTO-5 automatically converts 3-axis toolpaths into 5-axis toolpaths improving both surface finish quality and tool service life through the use of shorter tools. These intelligent toolpaths are automatically and dynamically controlled to eliminate any risk of collision and to manage machine rotation limits.
