Hello!
I am having problem seting up our 2 axis mill turn lathe in CamWorks.
Our lathe is similar to this one (only difference is that we have a rotating tool crib with active tools):
And I am trying to machine a simple part:
I can easily set up the lathe operations, but when I try to set up milling for the hex part with end mill, it uses more axis than my lathe has.
I want to do the milling with active tool stationary and moving along X and Z axis and the part rotating along the C axis.
How can I force the CamWorks to use my lathe setup?
This is just a test part, in future we need to manufacture simple sprockets and some more complex face milling features.
Can anyone point me to some tutorial, help file or give some advice?
p.s. You can see our lathe here: SIA Metaro
Thanks in advance.
