Oring tools machining angle grooves
On version 5.5.0.1 (April 2025) a new method of machining the outside angle grooves is available. This type of grooves is generally present on wipers, such as, but not limited to: To machine the angle groove on the back of the part, a fixed tool with the same angle as the desired part, was needed …
Springs database
Available from version 5.4.7.5 Before version 5.4.7.5 all the seals that are intended to be used with springs were calculated based on a hypothetic spring. When the customer does not have the recommended spring or uses a different manufacturer, the seal design needs to be adjusted and the initial reference does not make sense on …
Tool geometry
Tool geometry definition can change the toolpath associated with a tool as the built in tool radius compensation uses the radius, tool tip direction and tool geometry to determine the possible toolpath without overcut the final path. The tool geometry definition is presented to the user when possible using the ISO standards. This is not …
Maximum cross section – restriction
This restriction added in version 5.4.6.2 (September 2024) allows the operator to discard a tool based on the cross section size of the material. This restriction is particularly useful on machines with linear tool posts where tools are placed closely to each other, and where the cross section of the material, if larger than a …
Maximum inside dimension – restriction
The engine to select tools is quite complex and provides a unpaired flexibility. The restrictions are Boolean conditions that are verified. If accepted (true), the tool passes that restriction and can be considered a candidate to a determined operation. This restriction verifies if the machining diameter matches the value set by the customer. If it …
Machine settings – Identification
The machine identification settings were introduced on version 5.4.5.0 (May 2024). They explicitly defines each configuration to be used and organized by machine brand-> machine model -> controller brand -> controller model. The settings are described below: Name Description Machine brand The machine brand Machine model The machine model Controller brand The controller brand Controller …
Live tooling – radial z cut
Version 5.4.4.9 (10 May 2024) introduces the radial z cut. This live tooling operation available on profiles that have the option to be set as solid or split (for example GR01) automatically calculates the needed diameter to machine the tube so that the final dimension of the resulting part – after joined – equals the …
Live tooling – reserved words
The machine settings, live tooling code is more complex than most of the others as they involve several reserved words, some relevant for the atual live tooling operation type. On this page a description is provided to each of the existing live tooling reserved word. This list might be updated as the live tooling code …
