Practice exercise

00:01

This is a practice exercise video solution

00:06

for this practice. Let's get started with the supply data set.

00:09

Simple turn to part practice dot F 3D.

00:11

We're gonna navigate to the manufacture workspace,

00:14

go to turning and set our units to inch.

00:18

We're going to be creating a very simple program.

00:21

We want to get started by creating a new setup.

00:24

First, we need to note the orientation

00:26

Z is pointing the incorrect direction and the chuck is on the wrong side.

00:30

So we're gonna click on the Z

00:31

to flip the orientation of the part,

00:34

noting the location of the chuck, the

00:36

location of the chuck is gonna represent where

00:39

the machine is holding on to our stock.

00:41

Even though our physical part is much shorter,

00:43

we do have some extra material that can extend on this side.

00:47

So in order to do this, we're gonna go to our stock tab

00:51

and make sure that we do increase the overall length to three inches

00:56

when we do this, noting that it's going from the center of the part,

00:59

but we want to offset it from the front.

01:02

We also can add a small offset to the front. So we can face the end of the part of 0.05.

01:08

When we navigate back to our setup,

01:10

we can now see that the chuck is located on the extension of our stock

01:14

from here. We're gonna leave everything as is moving on to our post process.

01:19

And we're gonna add an extra five to the end of our program number.

01:23

We're gonna have a comment of simple turned

01:25

and hit, enter to say, OK,

01:27

the W CS of zero will represent the next available coordinate system

01:32

and in most cases that's G 54.

01:34

So the next thing that we need to do is create a basic set of tool paths to machine.

01:39

Our part,

01:40

we're going to begin by going to our turning, drop down and select turning face.

01:44

We're gonna select our tool and to do this,

01:46

we're gonna navigate to our fusion 3 60 library under cutting tool inches.

01:51

And we wanna make sure that we are taking a look at all available tools.

01:55

In this case, we need to find our turning tools.

01:59

We're gonna select turning tools inch

02:02

and note all the available tools.

02:04

The first tool that we wanna select is the second tool in our list,

02:08

which is AC NMT 32.52.

02:11

Now, this is a right handed general purpose tool and we're going to select it,

02:17

noting the orientation of our tool as we rotate our part around,

02:20

it's coming in from the positive X direction.

02:24

It's gonna come in,

02:25

it's gonna remove the material and drag itself away. So we can simply say, OK,

02:31

next, we need to create a roughing profile.

02:34

So we're gonna go to our turning tools and select turning profile roughing.

02:38

We use the same tool and we're going to allow

02:41

it to use all the default settings and say,

02:43

OK,

02:44

this will allow the tool to come in and make multiple passes.

02:47

Last, we're gonna go to turning profile finishing

02:51

once again, we're gonna use the default settings,

02:53

but we wanna navigate over into our passes section

02:57

and make sure that we're taking an appropriate number

02:59

of steps and an appropriate size step over.

03:02

We're gonna say, OK, allowing it to create that finishing pass.

03:06

Noting that it's ending at this corner.

03:09

If we need the tool to go further down the part, we can always modify our tool path.

03:14

We can take a look at our geometry,

03:16

we can move our back plane

03:18

and we can make sure that the tool does extend far enough past the part.

03:23

You notice that we are getting a warning.

03:25

It's telling us that the lead out

03:26

has been modified because it's gouging remaining stock

03:30

and that happens when it goes past the end of our part.

03:32

I'm going to allow it for this operation and

03:34

move on to our turning and select turning part.

03:38

We need to select a different tool for turning part.

03:41

So I'll go down to our turning tools

03:43

and we want to take a look at our OD grooving tools.

03:47

We're gonna select this OD grooving tool,

03:49

say, OK, and allow it to part the remaining stock

03:53

at this point. We can also select the entire setup, go to actions and simulate

03:58

when we press play.

03:60

We can see it creating the turning tool path for the entire part.

04:03

And at the very end, it does remove it from the rest of our stock.

04:08

Once again note that in some cases, we might see warnings for our tool path.

04:12

You'll need to evaluate whether or not those

04:14

warnings are warranted and need action to remedy.

04:17

In

04:17

this case,

04:18

it did modify our lead out parameters to prevent some additional gouging.

04:22

Let's go ahead and exit the simulation and make

04:24

sure that we save the part before moving on.
