Creating a Ramp Rough Turning Operation

Activate the Manufacturing Program and click Ramp Rough Turning in the Lathe Machining Operations toolbar.

A Ramp Rough Turning entity is added to the Manufacturing Program.

The Ramp Rough Turning dialog box appears directly at the Geometry tab .

Note: Geometry tab includes a sensitive area to help you specify the geometry to be machined. The part and stock areas are colored red indicating that this geometry is required. All other geometry is optional.

Still in the Geometry tab.

1. Click the red part area in the Geometry tab and then select the desired part profile in the 3D window.

   See Selecting Edges and Faces to Define Geometry

2. Click the red stock area in the Geometry tab and then select the desired stock profile in the 3D window.

   Once selected, the part and stock areas changes color to green indicating that this Geometry is now defined.

3. Set Part Offset to 5mm.

Select the Strategy tab .

1. Specify the machining strategy parameters.

   
   

   • Roughing Strategy: Longitudinal
   • Orientation: External
   • Location: Front

2. Double-click Max depth of cut.

   Set this value to 2.5mm in the Edit Parameter dialog box and click OK.

3. Set other parameters in the Option, Rework, and User Parameters tabs.

   
   
   

Go to the Tool tab to select a tool.

Select the Feeds and Speeds tab to specify the feedrates and spindle speeds for the Machining Operation.

Select the Macros tab to specify the operation's transition paths.

For more information, please refer to the Define Macros on a Lathe Operation.

Click Tool Path Replay to check the validity of the Machining Operation.

See Replaying the Tool Path

• The tool path is computed.
• A progress indicator is displayed.
• You can cancel the tool path computation at any moment before 100% completion.

Click OK to create the Machining Operation.
