HD56909: AMG / MULTI AXIS HELIX MACHINING / BAD TOOLPATH IS GENERATED FO R THE DEFINED OPERATION

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• AMG / MULTI AXIS HELIX MACHINING / BAD
  TOOLPATH IS GENERATED FOR THE DEFINED
  OPERATION
  .
  1. Open the attached CATProcess.
  2. Expand the specification tree to machining
  operations.
  3. A Multi-Axis Helix Machining operation is defined.
  4. Force compute the toolpath and observed the
  tool path generated.
  5. It can be observed that, bad tool path is
  generated for this operation.

  Incident Diagnosis
  AMG / MULTI AXIS HELIX MACHINING / BAD
  TOOLPATH IS GENERATED FOR THE DEFINED
  OPERATION
  .
  Restriction Explanation
  The tool path is not smooth because several faces
  are selected and the transition bewteen two faces
  can not be managed smoothly with the algorithm
  for Helix.
  .
  By-Pass
  The operation must be split in 2 operations :
  - first, mill the upper part of the blade
  - second, mill the fillet base of the blade.
  .
