This parameter defines the angle of the multi-point tapered thread mill as defined from the vertical. The Thread Angle parameter will be enabled when Type in the Non-Cutting Portion group box is set to Tapered.Multi-Point Thread Mill Tool page under Tool tab: Circular pocket and hole features can now be machined using multi-point thread mill tools.įor a Thread Mill operation machined with a Tapered Multi-Point Thread Mill tool, the following parameters in its Operation Parameters dialog box will be affected. Such as thread mill toolpaths for circular boss. But now in SOLIDWORKS CAM 2020, tapered multi-point thread mill tools are supported. Prior to SOLIDWORKS CAM 2020 and CAMWorks 2020, the tapered multi-point thread mill tools were not supported. New – Tapered Multi-Point Thread Mill tools are now supported in SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard 2020 Tabbing shown after running SOLIDWORKS CAM machining simulation Defining the exit and entry method for the toolpath so that the tool can retract and enter into the stock material at the tab locations => Leadin/out dropdown list.Can specify number of tabs to generate along the segments/arcs that coonsist of the edge of the feature => Minimum Segment Length and Minimum arc radius parameters.By deselecting specific tabs, their toolpaths will not be generated => Checkbox options in the Tabs list box.Able to select tab in the graphics area => Tabs list box.Can offset the default location of specific individual tabs along the edge of the feature => Offset parameter.Number of tabs to be generated along the feature to the edge of the object => No.Can define tab dimensions by => Length and Thickness parameters.Indicating whether the settings in Tab settings dialog box are to be applied to a specific feature being machined by the Contour Mill operation or to all the features being machined by the Contour Mill operation => Click “Apply to All” checkbox option.Selecting the feature for which tabs are to be generated => Applicable only when a group features or multiple mill features are machined by the Contour Mill operation.Selecting the feature for which tabs are to be generated So the core is retained with stock.Ī list of settings below which can be assgined for the Tab feature: Tab Settings Dialog box provides the options and controls for defining multiple tabs along the feature profile. Milling Tab Feature Settings Dialog Box in SOLIDWORKS CAM 2020 User Interface NOTE: Mill Tabs can be applied only when the option of Bottom Finish is selected. Clicking on this button displays the Tab Settings dialog box. The Settings button within this group box will be enabled only when the Tab Cutting checkbox is checked. Within SOLIDWORKS CAM 2020, in order to enable the Tab feature and begin defining milling tabs, click the check in the Tab Cutting checkbox. ‘Tab Cutting’ group box under Contour Tab of a Contour Mill Operation
YOU NO LONGER NEED TO DEFINE AVOID AREAS – Yeah! The Tab feature in SOLIDWORKS CAM 2020, is a great solution for solving this issue. This keeps the part from dropping from the stock material and potentially damaging the part and/or its finish. By keeping the core material and/or part attached to the stock material with the tabbing feature, the contour milling will cut the entire profile of the feature. The “Tab” feature consists of a small piece of the stock material along the profile (feature boundary) of the part. What’s NEW in SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard 2020 New – Support for Tabs Cutting in Contour Mill Operations in SOLIDWORKS CAM Standard 2020Īllows users to define tabs on the feature profile of a through mill feature machined using a single Contour Mill application.
