EdgeCAM Turning

This presentation shows a SolidWorks part ona sub-spindle, twin turret, mill/turn lathe.


4/60


Use the EdgeCAM launchbutton within SolidWorks

to load the part intoEdgeCAM.


5/60


The part is loaded

directly intoEdgeCAM as a solidmodel.

Insert lathe includingchucks, headstock and

slides.

10/60


Notice that an associativecopy of the part, with

features, has been transferredto the sub-spindle.


11/60


Open the Instruction Browser. This machinehas an upper and lower tool turret. These are

shown side by side in the browser.

The screen has also been split intotwo and zoomed into the

component areas to be machined.


12/60


Face the part in themain spindle.

Notice the Time Line.This will expand asnew toolpaths are

added.


13/60


Turn theOD

andundercut.


14/60


Now using the lower

turret, face the backof the part in the

sub-spindle.


15/60


The profile of thepart can now be

milled using C axismilling.


16/60


Add synchronization to ensure that subsequentevents do not take place until both the main andsub-spindle have finished what they are doing.

Spaces are added to the browser to provide clarity.


17/60


Dock the sub-spindle with the main

spindle to pick up the component.


18/60


The part is nowcomplete.

EdgeCAM is constantly looking atthe original SolidWorks model and

automatically reports if it has beenupdated.


22/60


With the new part automatically loaded onto boththe main and sub-spindles, Feature Finder looks at

the new model and identifies changed, deletedand new features relative to the original model.Changed features are easy to identify through

bold text in the Feature Browser.


23/60


It can be seen that theturned profile has been

changed, making the existingtoolpaths unusable.


24/60


Updating the toolpaths tothe new profile is easilydone by clicking on the

regenerate button.


25/60


The milled profile willalso be updated in the

same way.


26/60


The part is nowfully updated.


27/60


The Time Line shows allthe activities on both

spindles and both turrets.

EdgeCAM Production Milling

This presentation shows a component part loaded

onto a fixture and rotary table within SolidWorks.

The assembly is loaded directly into EdgeCAM and

the part machined.


30/60


The part and its stock modelcan be assembled on to afixture within SolidWorks.


31/60


The assembly can beloaded into EdgeCAM

using the EdgeCAMlaunch button.


32/60


With the assembly loadedinto EdgeCAM, Feature

Finder identifiesmachineable features:

pockets, bosses and holes.


33/60


Here are the features

found for the currentcoordinate plane.


34/60


Enter manufacturingmode.


35/60


The roughing processuses the casting asthe stock boundary.


36/60


The roughingprocess produces anoptimized toolpath.


37/60


Features can be machined byselecting them from the Feature

Browser or selecting them fromthe solid model.


38/60


Selecting the tapped holefeatures provides the option to

perform a hole machiningoperation.


39/60


This operation will perform the spotdrill, deep drill and tapping processes

within a single click.


40/60


Utilizing the hole sizes from SolidWorks,EdgeCAM identifies the correct tools from theToolStore, with appropriate feeds and speeds.


41/60


These toolpaths can now

be repeated for the otherfour faces.


42/60


These toolpaths canthen be rationalized tominimize cycle time.

EdgeCAM identifies that

the assembly haschanged.


45/60


The revised assembly is loaded.


46/60


Feature Finder automatically

identifies the features thathave changed.


47/60


The toolpaths areregenerated.


48/60


The roughing cycle is updated to thenew model and stock casting. Thehole process is also updated for the

two new tapped holes on all five faces.


49/60


The part is now

complete.
