Required Adjustments In Mastercam


1.1. Adjustments to be Made for Milling Machines

While CAM operation is performed on milling machines, the Z axis from the manufacturing axis directions should be in the direction of the Z axis of the design axis.(Figure 1.1)

Figure 1.1


1.2. Adjustments to be Made for Mill-Turn Machines

In Mill-Turn machine, if the design axis direction is the manufacturing axis direction as in Figure 1.2, the desired operation cannot be performed. In order to make the desired tool paths in such parts, the design of the workpiece and the manufacturing axis directions should be done as in Figure 1.3.

The definition of the Working Coordinate System should always be set to be parallel only to the Top Plane. Apart from this, rotation cannot be performed on the But only with offset values, the origin point can be moved parallel to the Top Plane (Figure 1.4).
