3+2 axis Machining Function is providesd as standaed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 3+2 axis Machining<\/a> (formerly TiltMill) is provided as standard in FFAUT V.18.

Simulation(FF\/SIM) is providesd as standaed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Simulation<\/a> (formerly FF\/SIM) is provided as standard in FFAUT V.18.
Previous simulation detection functions and check functions have been significantly enhanced in [FFAUT V.18].
Screen designs and operability have been improved to enable using the functions more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close Machining with Multiple Guides<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Multiple guide curves or a point and a curve(s) can be chosen.
A cutter path of the spiral motion along the eccentric shape can be created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Open Machining with Multiple Guides<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The tool path is generated by interpolating multiple guide curves that are specified.
“Every curve” shorten the machining time.
Because it is move less between the guide curves and it is intensively machining one of the guide curves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Averaging with the Maximum Block Length<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This feature prevents the generation of a block of NC data for which the travel distance is too long.
As a result, tool motions in machining are averaged and the quality of the machined surface is improved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhancement of Contour Machining Function<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Added Z Spiral High Speed Function<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now supports high speed operation process when [Spiral] is selected as the operation type for “Contour Machining”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved Connection Operations in CR Simultaneous Machining<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Corner R can now be added to the motion of connecting the tool path of “Contour Machining” and “CR Machining”.
Smooth operations on the machined surface prevent marks from being left on the geometry.
The purpose is to improve machined surface quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added Z Spiral High Speed Function<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now supports high speed operation process when [Z Spiral] is selected as the operation type for “Contour Projection Machining”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhancement of Corner R Machining<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Improvement of Uncut Recognition Accuracy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The entire geometry can be finished while avoiding the tool load on the corner sections.
The path of contour line machining is output concurrently with corner R machining (contour).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Enhancement of Flat Machining<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Added Flat Face Machining\/Flat Z Tolerance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The tool paths of [Flat Face Machining] can be output to planes with small curves and tilts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Amplitude in Z direction > Flat Z Tolerance : Paths are not output to curved surfaces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Amplitude in Z direction \u2266 Flat Z Tolerance : Outputs paths to curved surfaces also.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Additional functions in the thin rib processing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The function that the cutter path in the closest to the geometry is shifted to the Z direction is added.
    The function can reduce the tool load at the closest area of the geometry and offer the better machining surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    GO1 output in Drilling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The Machining data of G01 can be output.

    Error is displayed before calculation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    If the [Overhang Length Calculate] setting is not appropriate, an error message indicating the cause will be displayed at the start of calculation.
    If [Auto Execute] is ON, multiple machining lists are checked at the start of calculation and the cause of the error and “corresponding CL File Name” will be displayed.
    Now, errors can be checked before calculation to eliminate unnecessary re-calculation time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Improved Machining List<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    When [Overhang Length Calculate] is carried out, the background color of the [Overhang Amount] field of [Machining List] will change.
    If longer than the tool setting, it will be displayed in “yellow”. If shorter, it will be displayed in “green”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
