EdgeCAM Tech Tip
Edgecam Thread Milling Operation for Mill/Turn
The new Thread Milling operation is now available in the Mill/Turn environment, allowing more users to benefit from its advanced capabilities.
The operation can be used to machine wireframe and solid (associative) geometry, and offers support for helical arcs, canned cycles and integrated cutter radius compensation.
The operation has a graphical user interface, specifically designed to improve usability. Upon selecting a modifier, an image or video explains the meaning of this parameter. Embedded Help provides instant access to further information without the need to open an additional window.
The thread's direction of cut depends on the values set for several parameters.
To support this Operation, a Threadmill tool type can filter threadmill tools in the toolstore. This can be specified in the toolchange (Milling Cutter dialog) or via the new ToolStore tool type.
It is always our desire to work closely with clients who have an interest in our products. We want to make sure you are productive with the software choices you’ve made. If you have any questions or would like to see EdgeCAM up close and personal please do not hesitate to contact your local Hagerman office. We are here to help.
