Rotary axis and multi-sided machining

The term "rotary axis and multi-sided machining" refers to machining processes where workpieces are machined on multiple sides and axes, often using rotating axes (rotary axes). These techniques allow for complex and precise machining of workpieces in a single setup, increasing efficiency and accuracy.

Typical software functions in the area of "rotary axis and multi-sided machining":

1. Automated tool path planning: Generation of optimal tool paths for machining multiple sides and axes.
2. Machining process simulation: Virtual representation and analysis of machining processes to avoid collisions and optimize machining strategy.
3. Collision detection: Checking tool paths for potential collisions with the workpiece or the machine.
4. Multi-sided programming: Creation and management of CNC programs that encompass machining on multiple sides and axes.
5. Tool management: Management and optimization of tool usage and changes during machining.
6. Real-time monitoring: Monitoring machining processes in real time for immediate problem detection and resolution.
7. Optimization of machining sequence: Determining the most efficient sequence of machining steps for maximum productivity.
8. Machining strategies for complex geometries: Development and application of specialized machining strategies for complex and precise workpiece geometries.
9. Adjustment of machining parameters: Fine-tuning machining parameters such as cutting speed and feed rate for different materials and workpiece shapes.
10. Documentation and reporting: Creation of detailed reports and documentation of machining processes and results.
