4. DETAILS OF AUTOMATIC
PROCESS DETERMINATION
AND NOTES ON ITS USE
328
The use of inverse tools can be set in automatic process determination for
the following processes:
– End surface roughing
– Outer surface roughing
– Inner surface roughing
– End surface semifinishing
– Outer surface semifinishing
– Inner surface semifinishing
– End surface finishing
– Outer surface finishing
– Inner surface finishing
When determining inverse processes, set the following setting data:
No.71: Whether inverse processes are determined
0 0 0 0 0 x x x
For end surface machining
For outer surface machining
For inner surface machining
0 : Does not determine inverse processes.
1 : Determines inverse processes.
When machining procedure data is set in the following order, the
processes are determined as described below:
Machining procedure data
– End surface roughing
– Outer surface roughing
– Inner surface roughing
Conditions
1) There are areas to be cut with inverse tools on the end surface, outer
surface, and inner surface.
2) The tooling information and tool data for the tools which cut the end
surface and the tooling information and tool data for the tools which
cut the outer surface are separately set.
Determined processes
Process 01 Outer surface roughing
(on the end surface with a normal tool)
Process 02 Outer surface roughing
(on the outer surface with a normal tool)
Process 03 Outer surface roughing
(on the end surface with an inverse tool)
Process 04 Outer surface roughing
(on the outer surface with an inverse tool)
Process 05 Inner surface roughing
(on the inner surface with a normal tool)
Process 06 Inner surface roughing
(on the inner surface with an inverse tool)
* The processes are determined so that the end surface and outer surface
are cut first with a normal tool then with an inverse tool.
