Cylindrical workpiece blank with BLK FORM CYLINDER
Application
With BLK FORM CYLINDER you define a cylindrical workpiece blank. You can define a cylinder either as a solid piece or as a hollow pipe.
Description of function
- Cylindrical blank
To define the cylinder, enter at least the radius or diameter and the height.
The workpiece preset is in the cylinder center in the working plane. Optionally you can define an oversize and the inside radius or diameter of the blank.
Input
NC programs contained in this User's Manual are suggestions for solutions. The NC programs or individual NC blocks must be adapted before being used on a machine.
Change the following contents as needed:
- Tools
- Cutting parameters
- Feed rates
- Clearance height or safe position
- Machine-specific positions (e.g., with M91)
- Paths of program calls
Some NC programs depend on the machine kinematics. Adapt these NC programs to your machine kinematics before the first test run.
In addition, test the NC programs using the simulation before the actual program run.
With a program test you determine whether the NC program can be used with the available software options, the active machine kinematics and the current machine configuration.
