FeatureTURN/MILL
FeatureTURN/MILL is an extension of FeatureTURN and incorporates both FeatureTURN and FeatureMILL2.5D With FeatureTURN/MILL, turning features and milling features can be conveniently ordered together in a single setup.
FeatureTURN/MILL provides several capabilities, including:
- Support for lathes with C and Y axis milling capabilities and sub-spindles.
- Drilling or milling features can be positioned on the face or on the OD of the part, and are easily programmed with the FeatureTURN/MILL feature wizard.
- FeatureTURN/MILL contains all the milling features of FeatureMILL2.5D, including holes, slots, pockets, grooves, sides and patterns.
- Milling features can be created on the OD and then wrapped around the lathe's Z-axis. This process takes the Y moves of a milling feature and translates them into C-axis rotations.
- Simulations accurately reflect the rotation of the part during machining so that you can verify precise toolpaths on your computer.
- Polar interpolation can be performed by FeatureTURN/MILL or by the control.
- FeatureTURN/MILL includes the same post processing capabilities as FeatureMILL2.5D and FeatureTURN. You simply create your features and let FeatureTURN/MILL take care of the NC code details.
