Beschreibung

Dieses Werkzeug erzeugt eine Taschenbearbeitung von ausgewählten Bodenflächen oder Wänden einer oder mehrerer Taschen des Auftragsbasisobjekts.

The Path Pocket Shape object is made to be part of a Path Job.

Usage

  1. 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.
  2. Invoke the Pocket Shape command using several methods:
    • Pressing the Pocket Shape button in the toolbar.
    • Using the P then O keyboard shortcut.
    • Using the Path Pocket Shape entry from the top menu.
  3. Adjust the desired properties


Properties

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 Path 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


Visual reference for Depth properties (settings)


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


Tasks Window Editor Layout

Descriptions for the settings are provided in the Properties list above. This section is simply a layout map of the settings in the window editor for the Operation.

Base Geometry

  • 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

Extensions

  • DatenShow All: If selected, all potential extensions are visualized. Enabled extensions in purple, disabled extensions in yellow.
  • DatenExtension Corners
  • DatenExtension Length Default
  • Enable
  • Disable
  • Clear

Depth

  • DatenStart Depth
  • DatenFinal Depth
  • DatenStep Down

Height

  • DatenSafe Height
  • DatenClearance Height

Operation

  • DatenTool Controller
  • DatenCut Mode
  • DatenPattern (Offset Pattern)
  • DatenAngle (Zig Zag Angle)
  • DatenStep Over Percent (Step Over)
  • DatenPass Extension: The distance the facing operation will extend beyond the boundary shape (base geometry)
