Machining

Contour milling in PASCAM Bea always refers to the existing part geometry or sketches of the SOLIDWORKS model. 3D paths can also be used as a basis for this machining process. In the case of multiple contours, the machining paths are determined automatically and specific starting points can be defined for each contour.
In the case of closed contours, the application of machining a pocket is often recommended. PASCAM Bea offers a variety of options to machine pockets, which also can be automatically optimized with regard to postprocessor and geometry, as well as special lead-in and lead-out strategies, in order to achieve optimal results.
Optimal lead-in and lead-out strategies are of central importance in machining operations. In addition to the usual standard methods, PASCAM Bea provides many field-proven methods not only for lead-in and lead-out, but also for the infeed movement of the routing and milling tools, which cover all imaginable requirements.
For more complex machining processes, it is possible to store predefined CNC sequences. This can be done by the user, or by means of cycles specially designed for the machines in use at the user company, provided by the innovative Bea expansion card technology. This guarantees consistently high quality of CNC results!
