Tool Holder Degouge for HSM Toolpaths and Solid Tools
Creo Parametric 11.0.0.0
Videos
Description
Previously, the profile or shape of the solid tool holder was not considered in toolpath calculations. Now the HSM toolpaths can degouge profile of the solid tool holders also. The toolpath considers the holder shape corresponding to the part design of the solid tool holder. A solid tool holder is degouged against a reference part and in-process stock.
Benefits
This enhancement provides the following benefits:
• Enhances accuracy of toolpaths
• Considers actual solid tool holder shape in toolpath calculations for HSM steps
Additional Information
Tips: | Ensure that you assemble the solid tool and solid tool holder in the correct position for generating an accurate toolpath and simulation. Placing the tool inside the holder generates an incorrect toolpath and simulation. |
Limitations: | No known limitations. |
Does this replace existing functionality? | No. |
Configuration option associated with this functionality: | enable_hsmseq_holder_degouge yes, no* |
