Description
The FINISHING_PASS parameter defines and controls the finishing pass for Face Milling HSM sequences. When this parameter is set to YES and BOTTOM_STOCK_ALLOW is specified, an additional finishing slice is created. The two additional parameters FINISH_CUT_FEED and FINISH_SPINDLE_SPEED are provided to control the finishing slice independently of other slices.
Benefits
This enhancement provides the following benefits:
• Provides additional finishing slice for Face Milling with independent cut and spindle speed controls
• Consistent with Creo NC workflows
Additional Information
Tips:
When FINISHING_PASS is set to YES and FINISH_CUT_FEED and FINISH_SPINDLE_SPEED values are not specified, an additional slice or the last slice considers the default CUT_FEED and SPINDLE_SPEED values.
Limitations:
No known limitations.
Does this replace existing functionality?
No.
Configuration option associated with this functionality:
None.
