Conversion to Flat Cylinder Machinable Hole Feature segment


SolidCAM determines the following dimensions of the upper and lower Hole Feature segments of the pair. In the scheme below, the segments are represented as two cylinders surrounding the segments.

 If the lower Hole feature segment is Planar, the HL is 0.

 

The scheme of Flat Cylinder Machinable Hole Feature generation is the following:

    • The planar face is located on the same depth (hr_segm_diameter) as the lower point of the lower segment of the initial Hole Feature.
    • The diameter of the Cylinder (hr_segm_height) is the same as the diameter of the Hole Feature Segment.
    • The resulting segment is extended upward till the Hole Upper Plane.
