Lathe Programming
When using CAD CAM, the Compensation cutting strategy follows the final profile’s shape throughout the roughing process, unlike cycles’ linear movements. This strategy offers several cutting advantages, including:
- Tool remains in constant contact with material, enhancing tool life and roughing quality.
- Reduced retractions as machine follows workpiece shape.
- Toolpath adjusts to material shape, eliminating cutting in air, especially for special materials or repairing existing parts.
- Decreased cutting time due to fewer rapid movements.
- Zigzag compensation path with neutral or circular tool follows final piece shape, minimizing retractions.
