Turning using HEIZ
milling machines.
This special function creates from a section running in the horizontal
direction the movements for a turning facility. The section describes a
section through the workpiece to be turned.
CAD
drawing
The section in the X/Y level is input into the CAD. For milling, the axes
are converted into suitable machine movements.

The
direction of turning must be set in the X-direction on the machine.
Milling is done with the machine X and Z axes.
In the CAD the section to be worked should be input in the range +X
and -Y. The highest point of the working should lie at Y = 0. No
part of the cutting line may lie above Y = 0! The cutting line
must consist of one coherent section. For working off the
milling paths are calculated and directly saved in a file using the DIN/ISO
export filter for PCNC lathes. This turning equipment can be used
only with WinPC-NC.

The
cutting line must consist of
one coherent section. Several individual elements are joined
by a horizontal line (red)
in the
Y = 0 level. |
Input of
the special turning function.
After the cutting line has been input completely and correctly, the
milling path calculation can be started using the function CAM . PCNC-Lathe.

Tool |
Selection of the milling tool from the library. A click on the tool
graphic opens the tool input. The milling takes place using this tool. |
Position of cut |
Employment and position correction of the cutting line.
Relative |
The cutting line is always so offset in Y that the highest point
lies at
Y = 0. |
ABSOLUTE |
The cutting line is not offset. Thus more material can be
removed even for a smaller turning diameter. |
|
Clearance procedure |
Before
milling, the cutting line material is removed in layers using the
clearance process.
None |
There is no exposure of the cutting line. |
Row exposure. |
The cutting line is exposed by horizontal milling. |
Scaled |
The cutting line is exposed through scaled lines. |
|
Clearance separation [mm] |
Separation of the
clearance lines in (graphic) Y - direction. |
Following confirmation of the input the milling paths are calculated and
saved directly in a file using the DIN/ISO export filter for PCNC lathes.
This turning direction can be used only with WinPC-NC.
Results of the milling path calculation.

hatched clearance movements with cutting line in
the X- / Y level. The cutting line lies below Y = 0. Settings: ABSOLUTE +
row exposure.

Scaled
clearance movements with cutting line in the X- / Y level. The highest
point of the cutting line lies at Y = 0. Settings: Relative + scaled.
Finished!
