Tilted from point away

With this option, the tool axis is directed away from a specified point. This option is similar to the Tilted through point option. The tool axis direction is defined by a vector from the specified point to the tool contact point on the drive surface.

Click Pick point to define the direction point on the solid model.

The specified point has to be located under the drive surface.

 

 

Angles

SolidCAM enables you to define an additional tilting from the calculated vector through the specified point towards the chosen tilt axis.

  • Fixed tilt angle

This parameter defines the angle of the additional tool tilting from the vector through the defined point towards the tilt axis.

  • Tilted to

This option enables you to define the tilt axis. SolidCAM enables you to choose one of the Coordinate System axes (X, Y or Z) or define the tilt axis by a line. When the Line option is chosen, click the Data button to pick the start and end points of the tilt axis line directly on the solid model.

  • Point tilt type

This option enables you to determine the direction from where the fixed tilt angle is measured: from the axis towards the point or from the point towards the axis.
