Surface quality
The Surface quality tab enables you to define the parameters that affect the surface finish quality.
Quality
Cut tolerance
The Cut tolerance parameter defines the tool path accuracy. This value is the chordal deviation between the machining surface and the tool path. In other words, the tool path can deviate from the surface in the range defined by the Cut tolerance.
Step over
Maximum step over
This parameter defines the maximum distance between two consecutive cuts.
Scallop
This parameter enables you to define the cusp height of the machined surface.
|
The Maximum step over and Scallop options are available only when the Strategy is set as Around rotary axis on the Geometry page. |
Step angle
This parameter enables you to set the angular distance between two adjacent passes along the machine surface.
|
The Step angle option is available only when the Strategy is set as Along rotary axis on the Geometry page.
