Description
The HSM Undercut Machining step is now enhanced to support the Advanced Side Milling tool. You can now define separate radii for the upper corner and lower corner of this tool to handle undercut areas that are not directly visible from the position of the spindle.
Additionally, the CIRC_INTERPOLATION parameter is also supported for the HSM Undercut Machining step. This parameter defines the format to output the tool motion along an arc or circle in the CL file.
Benefits
These enhancements provide the following benefits:
• Support separate upper corner and lower corner tool radii for undercut areas
• Enhance machining efficiency
• Provide user experience consistent with Creo NC workflows
