What You'll Learn
Course Agenda
Lesson 1: Turning Basics
A quick recap of the turning fundamentals covered in the SOLIDWORKS CAM Professional course, before developing and expanding their knowledge further.
Lesson 2: Sub Spindle Turning
Looks in detail at the setup of a Mill turn machine giving strong consideration of the sub spindle and the setup parameters. This is expanded on with the setup of a part and toolpaths to machine a component using the sub spindle.
Lesson 3: Multi Turret Turning
Considers more advanced setups on a mill turn machine and reviews the setup and definition of toolpaths where multi turrets and multi spindles are used.
Lesson 4: Advanced Turning
Develops further on the previous lessons to cover some of the more advanced turning operations including the use of the B axis both incrementally and continuously, revolved section planes, approach and retract options.
Lesson 5: Mill Turn Basics
The fundamentals of generating milling and turning toolpaths within CAMWorks using a single turret/single spindle machine bringing together both milling and turning applications. This goes from machine and stock definition through to defining and adding toolpaths.
Lesson 6: Mill Turn Advanced
Walks through the machining of a component using both the main and sub spindles of a Mill Turn Machine. Furthermore, the operations applied will review wrapped features, B axis milling operations as well as multi axis operations.
Lesson 7: Assembly Mode
Show the process of creating a CAM setup utilising SOLIDWORKS assembly files. This allows users to explore the machine definition within CAMWorks with the use of additions chuck/fixture parts and how to define these with the machine and toolpath setups.
