Description

The Path Deburr tool is primarily for Deburring an edge.

Usage

Use for de-burring edges.

Start feature → select face or edge → configure options.

Options

After starting the feature you have to select the face or edge you want to de-burr in the Base Geometry tab in the Deburr feature menu. As seen in below picture.

After you selected the geometry you can press apply to see the tool-path as set by the default options.
When you have everything selected you can check your depths/step down and heights just like other path functions.
Final step is the menu that as seen below, you can configure the feature as follows:

  • Tool controller: The tool a 90 degree V-bit
  • Coolant Mode: Do you want coolant on or off?
  • Directions: CW: Clockwise or CCW: Counterclockwise
  • W is the dimension of your edge.
  • H is the offset from the bottom of the V-bit. It's a safety feature because if the tip gets above the edge it won't cut anymore.

Properties

Data

Base Geometry

  • DataPlacement: -
  • DataLabel: - User name of the object (UTF-8)

Deburr

  • DataDirection: CCW or CW
  • DataEntry Point: Change this to change Entry point, if set to 2 it will go in 2 corners from the default.
  • DataExtra depth: Extra depth or h in the menu.
  • DataJoin: How to join chamfer segments, Round or Miter. [example needed]
  • DataSide: Can change sides. [example needed]
  • DataWidth: The width you fill in in the menu by W.

Depth

  • DataClearance Height: The height needed to clear clamps and obstructions (set by default to OpStockZMax + SetupSheet.ClearanceHeightOffset)
  • DataSafe Height: The above which Rapid motions are allowed. (set to OpStockZMax + SetupSheet.SafeHeightOffset)
  • DataStart Depth: Starting Depth of Tool- first cut depth in Z
  • DataStep Down: Incremental Step Down of Tool

Path

  • DataActive: - Make False, to prevent operation from generating code
  • DataBase: - The base geometry for this operation, edges or a face
  • DataComment: - An optional comment for this operation
  • DataCoolant Mode: - Coolant mode for this operation
  • DataCycle Time: - Estimated cycle time for this operation
  • DataStart Vertex: - The vertex index to start the path from
  • DataTool Controller: - The tool controller that will be used to calculate the path
  • DataUser Label: - User assigned label
