Beschreibung

Das Werkzeug Taschenform erzeugt eine Taschenbearbeitung von ausgewählten Bodenflächen oder Wänden einer oder mehrerer Taschen des Basisobjekts des Auftrags.

Das Path-Pocket_Shape-Objekt ist dazu gedacht, Teil eines CAM-Auftrags zu sein.

Anwendung

Select the bottom or the wall(s) of a pocket. While it is usually easier to select the bottom, the walls have to be selected when a pocket goes through all.
There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the CAM Pocket Shape button.
- Select the CAM → Pocket Shape option from the menu.
Adjust the desired properties.

Eigenschaften

Note : Not all of these Properties are available in the Task Window Editor. Some are only accessible in the Data tab of the Properties View panel for this Operation.

Base

Note: It is suggested that you do not edit the Placement property of path operations. Rather, move or rotate the CAM Job model as needed.

DatenPlacement: Overall placement[position and rotation] of the object - with respect to the origin (or origin of parent object container)
- DatenAngle: Angle in degrees applied to rotation of the object around Axis property value
- DatenAxis: Axis (one or multiple) around which to rotate the object, set in sub-properties: X, Y, Z
  - DatenX: X axis value
  - DatenY: Y axis value
  - DatenZ: Z axis value
- DatenPosition: Position of the object, set in sub-properties: X, Y, Z - with respect to the origin (or origin of parent object container)
  - DatenX: X distance value
  - DatenY: Y distance value
  - DatenZ: Z distance value
DatenLabel: User-provided name of the object (UTF-8)

Depth

DatenClearance Height: The height needed to clear clamps and obstructions
DatenFinal Depth: Final Depth of Tool- lowest value in Z
DatenFinish Depth: Maximum material removed on final pass. The height (thickness) of the last cutting level - set for a better finish.
DatenSafe Height: The height above which Rapid motions are allowed. (Rapid safety height between locations)
DatenStart Depth: Starting depth of Tool - first cut depth in Z
DatenStep Down: Incremental step down of Tool during operation

Extension

DatenExtension Corners: When enabled connected extension edges are combined to wires.
DatenExtension Length Default: Default length of extensions.

Face

DatenOffset Pattern: Clearing pattern to use. (Select in which manner the horizontal movements should be done.)

Path

DatenActive: Make False, to prevent operation from generating code
DatenComment: An optional comment for this Operation
DatenUser Label: User assigned label
DatenTool Controller: Defines the Tool controller used in the Operation

Pocket

DatenCut Mode: Specifies a CW or CCW move for the cut
DatenExtra Offset: Extra offset to apply to the operation. Direction is operation dependent. (Extra value to stay away from final profile good for roughing toolpath)
DatenKeep Tool Down: Attempts to avoid unnecessary retractions.
DatenMin Travel: Use 3D Sorting of Path (when multiple base geometries used).
DatenStart At: Start pocketing at center or boundary.
DatenStep Over: Select the horizontal step over (Percent of tool diameter: 100% = tool diameter).
DatenUse Outline: Uses the outline of the base geometry.
DatenZig Zag Angle: Angle of the zigzag pattern. (Select the path angle relative to X axis.)

Rotation

DatenAttempt Inverse Angle: Automatically attempt Inverse Angle if initial rotation is incorrect.
~~DatenB_Axis Error Override: Visually orient B(y) rotations to model (error in FreeCAD rendering).~~
DatenEnable Rotation: Enable rotation to gain access to pockets or areas not normal to Z axis.
DatenInverse Angle: Inverse the angle of the rotation. Example: change a rotation from -22.5 to 22.5 degrees.
DatenReverse Direction: Reverse orientation of Operation by 180 degrees.

Start Point

DatenStart Point: The start point of this path.
DatenUse Start Point: Make True, if manually specifying a Start Point, then enter Start Points in the property data Start Points field.

Basisgeometrie

Add: Adds selected element(s) which should be the base(s) for the path(s)
Delete: Delete the selected item(s) in the Base Geometry list
Clear: Clear all items in the Base Geometry list
