Tool axis direction
The Tool axis direction section enables you to choose the tool tilting strategy. The tool tilting strategies enable you to define the orientation of the tool axis during the machining relative to the surface normal.
You can choose one of the following:
Not to be tilted and stays normal to surface
Tilted relative to cutting direction
Tilted to surface normal by fixed angle
Tilted relative to impeller machining layer
Tilted relative to contact point
Not to be tilted and stays normal to surface
With this option, SolidCAM enables you to keep the tool axis direction coincident to the surface normal at the cutting position. In other words, the tool is always normal to the surfaces during the machining.
