Machining cycles are available for C, Y and B axis machining at compound angles and on the Face, ID and OD of a part. These include automatic roughing, finishing, thread milling and single point (drilling, boring, reaming, tapping) cycles and all 3 Axis cycles. The operations that are generated for features are the same as the operations in CAMWorks 2.5 Axis Milling, 3 Axis Milling and Turning.IFR can be used to define 3 Axis features for Y-axis milling and wrapped features for cylindrical features machined by C-axis motion. The same Mill and Turn features identified by Automatic Feature Recognition (AFR) and defined using Interactive Feature Recognition (IFR) are supported in Mill-Turn.Mill-Turn extends the capabilities of CAMWorks Milling and Turning Supports 5 axis simultaneous machining.Supports C, Y and B axis machining at compound angles.If the triad does not display, click Redraw and select the Mill Part Setup again.CAMWorks Mill-Turn for solid Edge multi-function machining includes milling and turning capabilities for multi-tasking machine centers. How to change the Mill Part Setup origin is explained in Chapter 3. Origin is set to a vertex or middle of the top most feature. The origin of the Mill Part Setup is program zero for the Mill Part Setup. For more information, see the CAMWorks online Help.
