Machining blocks
A PASCAM Bea Block machining feature
contains other machining features that all belong to the
block. In addition to the machining features, a block
can also contain additional information such as markers
at the beginning and end of the listed entries in the
resulting CNC program, as well as special tolerance
specifications. These are applied to all included
machining features.
Furthermore, machining operations with the same identifier can be optimized between the machining blocks to minimize tool unit travels and/or tool changes. When using blocks within PASCAM Modifications, automatically recognized drill holes, milling or sawing operations can also be automatically assigned to the corresponding block. This enables the generation of highly optimized automatic machining sequences without any user intervention at the actual CNC programming process. |
