Lesson Plan
1. Introduction to a 4-axis Mill
• Setting up a program for a 4-axis mill
• Understanding 4-axis machine movements and corresponding operations
2. Indexing strategy
• Creating planes in Mastercam to index the job to different angles (3+1 machining strategy)
• Correct methods for indexing parts to achieve precise degrees
• Configuring planes to maintain a single work offset
• Applying 2D and 3D toolpaths after indexing
3. Simultaneous strategy
• Using 2D and 3D toolpaths with axis substitution for simultaneous motion
• Applying multi-axis toolpaths for advanced simultaneous motion
• Mastering multi-axis drilling techniques
4. Toolpath transform
• Rotating toolpaths around a job using toolpath transform
• Setting parameters to generate accurate G-code for rotational operations
5.Mastercam toolpath verification
• Using Mastercam’s verification and machine simulation features
• Performing collision checks and comparing the final part to the design model
6. CIMCO Edit machine simulation
• Using CIMCO Edit to simulate NC code
• Setting up machines in CIMCO for full NC code machine simulation
• Conducting collision checks and verifying the final part against the design
