Machine Functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Automation of Machining Parameter Setting by Macro.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Automatically changes the value of the parameter whose value changes depending on the situation.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

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”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This function eliminates the need to re-enter values and prevents missed settings for related parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Added of “Tool Path Output Control Function by Tilt Angle”.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Added of Function to Set Overhang Length and Neck Length Using Mouse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Added of a Function to Simplify the Interference Check Between the Tool and Machining Geometry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Added of a Function to Draw Tool Connection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Added a Batch Registration Function for Multiple Guide Wires <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Added of a Function to Measure the Cylinder Area of Geometry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Improved Tool Path Calculation Speed for Contour Machining<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Function to Export the Machining Information to Excel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the existing Machining Information output function of FFCAM, the new function allows the output of Machining Information in Excel format, enabling detailed customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The Excel Machining Information that is set will be output when the “Information Create (Output the one file)” function in [Repost – Information] is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Ex.: Excel Machining Information that is output<\/p>\n\n\n\n
