Automatically perform a native five-axis finishing of the bottom face (hub) of an impeller and/or a blisk.

On a given segment or up to the entire part to be machined.

 

 

Operation

 

The hub finishing is based directly on the faces given in the geometry, taking into account possible collisions between the tool (between the tool tip and the mounting frame of the tool holder on the machine) and the finish.

 

Multi-Blade machining is strictly limited to the area corresponding to the blades and areas within the blades.

 

To delimit the area to be machined, it is sufficient to distinguish three surface families:

 

 

 

 

 

Only the following tools are supported by hub finishing machining

 

 

 

Operation

 

Using the 4D/5D menu, or the mouse, select the "Hub finishing" operation.

A toolbar appears on the left of the screen along with a label in the graphic area.

 

 

 

You can then modify values by:

 

 

 

         

        

Select Favorite

 

Instead of modifying n values, this option allows you to restore (or save) values that have already been entered.

 

 

Select the tool to use

 

By default, if the previous operation tool can be used, it is reused for this operation (the name of the tool appears in the graphic area next to )

 

If the previous tool is not suitable or if this is the first operation, you must select a tool to validate the operation ()

 

 

Define Cutting Conditions for Operation

 

Use this icon to modify the cutting conditions of the current operation.

 

 

Define or Add Geometries to Machine

 

Use this icon to select (or remove) machinable geometries.

This geometry is automatically added, by first selecting the geometry and right-clicking "End Milling". You do not have to access the icon to do this.

 

Define Milling Boundaries

 

You can also apply trims (XYZ or contour) to the current operation.

 

 

Define all milling settings

 

Each milling has specific settings. Use this icon to access all settings (such as stocks to leave, altitudes, plunge modes, milling modes, etc.)

 

 

Define ISO File Settings

 

Use this icon to define which comment to use for the ISO code or to decide which inclined plane matrices to use.

 

 

Define colinear axis

 

This icon is available only if the current machine has colinear axis.With this icon it will then be possible to choose the axis drives by the operation.We also can choose the Z value of the fix axis.

 

 

 

Allow us to add one or more axis on the current machining

 

For example on 4 and 5 axis machine, to have the possibility of doing radial or axial operations.

 

Define Operation Properties

 

Use this icon to define whether you would like to update the stock or calculate the result later.

 

 

Confirm

 

To confirm the current operation,

pressing this icon

to right-click outside the window and use the "OK" menu

 

 

Cancel

 

If you wish to cancel the operation, click this icon.

 

 

Preview

 

          Display or hide the machining area.

When this is hidden, this area is not calculated, and response times improve.
