Corners: Swarf Machining

Introduction

This topic will explain the options found in the Edges tab of the Multiblade operation.

Corners

The Corners tab allows you to specify how inside and outside corners should be handled.

Inside Corners

  • Sharp Corner - creates sharp corners using orthogonal linear moves.

  • Round Corner - creates round corners using an arc move.

    • Radius - defines the radius used for the round corner.

    • Detection Angle - is the angle value used to detect corners to apply a round corner.

  • Relief Curve - cuts into the corner based on the length and detection angle settings.

    • Length - is a distance the tool travels into the corner.

    • Detection Angle - is the angle value used to detect corners for the relief curve.

 

 

Outside Corners

  • Roll Around - handles corners using an arc move.

  • Sharp Corner - creates sharp corners using orthogonal linear moves.

    • Detection Angle - is the angle value used to detect corners to apply a sharp corner.

  • Loop - creates a loop move at each corner using the radius and detection angle settings.

    • Radius - is the radius of the loop move.

    • Detection Angle - is the angle value used to detect corners for the loop.
