Pockets
Closed contours can be machined in PASCAM
Bea in an exceptionally powerful way - no matter what
type of model geometry is selected.
If the enclosed area within the contour is to be machined, there are basically two methods available: Machine-specific macros or subroutines can be used, or PASCAM Bea will determine the geometry for roughing by itself to mill the finished geometry either directly afterwards or as a detached geometry. In addition, it is possible to generate an optimized program for rectangular/oval or circular pockets. In addition to the standard Lead-In and Lead-Out methods, special methods - especially for the Lead-In - are available for pocket machining, such as "spiral" or "parallel to the contour". Pocket machining operations that completely penetrate the workpiece, a tool radius buildup is added to the top of the Lead-In strategy to prevent material from tearing out at the bottom of the pocket. |
