The number of passes required for a specified cut width. A cut width greater than 0.0 will offset the Rough cut by the width, leaving additional material to be removed by the Clean cut. A cut width of 0.0 will generate a Rough and Clean cut that trace the same surface of the part. Number of passes must be greater than 1.ĭefine an offset from the part surface a clean or rough cut will follow to leave material for a clean cut to remove on a second pass. If a Final Pass is used, the Final Pass Depth is removed from the Actual Per Pass value.ĭefine a final pass with a different depth than the other passes.

The default is automatically calculated from tool dimensions, but can be decreased to control the depth per pass.Ĭalculated from the Number of passes and the Final Cut Depth. Number cannot be set below the minimum value. The minimum number of passes is automatically calculated by the Max Per Pass value and the Final Depth. When surface depth is 0, Final Depth is the distance from the material surface. The depth of the cut measured from the surface depth. The distance from the top of the plate to the top of the design. The third part has a Rough, Clean, and Fine cut applied. This setup allows the Rough cut to remove material around the part and the Clean cut to finish the final cutout.Ī Fine cut can also be added which is intended to fit into corners and tight areas the Rough and Clean tool cannot reach.īelow is an example of the same part with 3 different strategies. The first cut is always defined as a Rough cut and the second cut is automatically defined as a Clean cut. The cut options are automatically determined by EnRoute based on the strategy type and cut order. There are 3 options, Rough, Clean, and Fine. Cut Typeĭefine how the cut will be generated relative to the geometry. Select a new tool from the list to change the tool used. Current Toolĭisplays the currently selected tool. To edit cut parameters, select the ellipses in the edit column of the strategy dialogue. EnRoute also supports horizontal drills.Ĭheck the Has drill bank parameter and click the Click to Edit button to open the drill bank configuration dialogue.Fine tune each cut within a strategy using the following parameters. The configuration must match the machine configuration and drill arrangement to function correctly.

Use the drop down list for each position to select the type of tool loaded in that positionĬlick OK to accept the tool changer configurationĬonfigure an available boring head as a drill bank. Parameters Auto Tool ChangerĮnables auto tool changer for the specific machineĮdit the specific tools loaded at each position in the tool changer Add Tool Specify if the selected machine has a tool changer and select the specific tools present.

These parameters are used to communicate with the machine when sending output directly and are defined by the manufacturer.Īfter a driver is configured it is typically not required to edit the configuration again, except to change tools loaded in a tool changer if the machine has one. The default units can be restored at any time by selecting the Use Defaults button. As described above, it is not recommended to change these units. These are units set by the manufacturer that are expected by the machine controller. Above the Material refers to speeds moving between toolpaths and Within the Material refers to speeds when cutting material.ĭefault Z axis speed moving in and out of cut.Ī minimum dwell time after entering the material to allow the tool to clear chips before beginning a cut. Spindle Speedĭefault spindle speed to use if no spindle speed is specifiedĭefault feed rates the machine moves in the X and Y axis if not specified in toolpath output. It is not recommended to change the units. The units in this category are defined by the manufacturer based on the units used by the controllers. These values are set by the manufacturer and it is not recommended to change them. Values in this category are limited by the machine capabilities so that it is not possible to define a speed that the machine is not capable of.

The Current Driver list shows drivers that have been marked as active if the driver for a specific machine is not shown open the Active Drivers dialogue and add it to the list of active drivers. In the Machine Drivers dialogue, select the driver to configure from the Current Driver list. The driver or post processor interprets the output from EnRoute and translates it into a format that can be recognized by a specific machine. Machine Drivers are also referred to as Post Processors.
