Machine Functions

Automation of Machining Parameter Setting by Macro.

Automatically changes the value of the parameter whose value changes depending on the situation.

Example:
If the machine is "iQ300", set the model accuracy to "-40".
If the machine is "other than iQ300", set the model accuracy to "-20".

This function eliminates the need to re-enter values and prevents missed settings for related parameters.

Added of "Tool Path Output Control Function by Tilt Angle".

In the [Contour], [Angle-area] and [Pencil] modes of CR machining, a function to specify the output range of the tool path by the tilt angle of corners has been added.
The function allows you to create the tool path only in appropriate areas for each machining mode.

Added of Function to Set Overhang Length and Neck Length Using Mouse

This function allows you to visually set the tool length by using the tool shape drawn on the graphics window.
This visual setting eliminates trial and error in numeric input, allowing quick determination of tool length.

Added of a Function to Simplify the Interference Check Between the Tool and Machining Geometry

Draw the tool in red when there is interference between the tool and machining geometry during tool drawing has been added.
It is easy to check if there is any interference between the tool and machining geometry and prevents oversight of interference.

Added of a Function to Draw Tool Connection

A function is added to draw the tool so that it touches the specified point.
The [Tool Position] parameter can be select the position to draw the tool. You can select [Tip button] or [Contact Point button], two types of positioning methods.
In FFCAM2020, Interference of tools and holders can be confirmed more accurately using this function.

Added a Batch Registration Function for Multiple Guide Wires 

In FFCAM2020, you can now select multiple guide wires at once by selecting the range.
When the number of wires are more, the number of steps and time required to select them can be reduced.

Added of a Function to Measure the Cylinder Area of Geometry

In FFCAM2020, the function to measure the geometry size in the cylinder area has been added, and the required numeric values can be obtained efficiently.

Improved Tool Path Calculation Speed for Contour Machining

The function has been improved for faster calculation of tool path when "Contour Corner R" and "Outside area infeed of contour infeed" are set in contour machining.

Operation

Added of Main Program Creation Function

In FFCAM2020, the function to easily create a main program on the [Report Information] screen has been added.
You can create a Main Program that uses a dedicated POST.
※Customers limited you have a POST for Main Program

Added of the Under Cut Function for Multiple Machining

When executing display of under cut portions, if you select multiple machining or process (multiple processes), the under cut portions are displayed for the entire selected machining.
It is now possible to check under cut positions for multiple machining operations at once, making it easier to find areas that cannot be machined.

Improved Function to Copy Process and Machining Data Between Working Windows

In FFCAM2020, you can copy process and machining data even when the [Machining Data Selection] in the destination window is empty.
