MILL-TURN

CAMWorks Mill/Turn Combo products provide a programming solution for milling and turning in the same machine tool. Mill-turn machines are capable of performing turning and milling operations in a single setup that can reduce part handling and increase production. Mill-Turn machining cycles are available for C, Y and B axis machining at compound angles and on the Face, ID and OD of a part.

• Mill and Turn features, identified by Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) and defined using Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR) are supported. IFR can be used to define 3 Axis features for Y-axis milling and wrapped features for cylindrical features that would be machined by C-axis motion.
• For Mill features,2½ Axis and 3 Axis Mill operations are generated . These include automatic roughing, finishing, thread milling and single point (drilling, boring, reaming, tapping) cycles and all 3 Axis cycles. All machining operations are defined, calculated and verified in the SolidWorks environment.
