This book This book is a follow-up to the books Creo Parametric Modeling and Creo Para- metric Basie Milling. If you already know the basis of the Creo Parametric and modeling you can use this book easily. If you are using the software first time, and want to go straight to the CAM module, you can download the needed 3D models and tools: * The downloaded models are in the native Creo Parametric 2-format (.prt), (.asm), (.drw) and (mfg). © The models are also available in the STEP-format, Before you use Creo Parametric to machine components (CAM), it is important to understand the complete manufacturing process and the steps involved in this process, It is also important to understand the elements that make up completed manufacturing models. Download site: http://www.gold-cam fi/en/download Or inquire: gold-cam@ dle.fi 1.2 Chapters and Tasks This book consists of several chapters each dealing with a primary theme of Creo Parametric and are meant to be used alongside the running Creo Parametric. You will learn the material best if you take time along the way to read the text care fully and think about what you are doing and observing what happens. Usually, first is the theory and then is the Task. Tasks are marked as chapter numbers, for example: Task 1,2: How to use this book? When the task is ready, there is a text: Task 1.2 is ready.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 6/265 1.3. Introduction to Turning Manufacturing ‘The turning manufacturing process can be divided into different main-level steps; 1. Manutacturing Tempiate 2. Reference Model 3. Workplece 4, Ret Model and Workpiece 5. Fixture 6. NC Sequences and tools 7. Simulation 8. CL Data and Postprocessing CNC CodeCreo Parametric Basic Turning 71265 1, A template manufacturing model can be selected and copied during the creation process. Using template manufacturing models enables you to standardize on the initial manufacturing model configuration. By default, the template manufacturing model includes default datum planes and a default coordinate system. 2. The reference model represents the final machined component. Surfaces and edges are selected from the reference model and are used as references when creating NC steps. The reference model can be also imported from the other CAD- software, You must assemble a reference model before creating NC steps. 3. Workpiece model - This represents the unmachined stock material. It is an optional element and is not required to create NC steps. However, using a workpiece enables you to simulate the machining of the stock material. Workpieces can be standard stock billets or you can configure them to represent models such as castings. 4, You can assemble or ereate a workpiece in a manufacturing model. A number of options are available, An automatic workpiece enables you to create a rectan- gular or round workpiece depending on your requirements. 5. Fixtures are parts or assemblies that can be used to hold the component being machined. For example, you can create chuck assemblies and use them as fixtures. 6. AmNC sequence is a workpiece feature that represents a single tool path. The tool path consists of: © Cut motions, that is, too! motions while actually cutting the workpiece material Approach, exit, connect moves Additional CL commands and post-processor words (for example, feedrates, PRINT, OPSTOP). 7. Toolpaths and machine simulations are one of the most important stages in the manufacturing process. You can display the toolpath for an operation, a single step, or multiple steps. You can also display tool path and machine simulation together if the machine assembly is defined. 8, Post-processing is the final stage in the manufacturing process. When toolpaths and simulation have been completed, you can create ASCII format cutter location (CL) data files for operations or selected NC steps. This CL data file will then have to be postprocessed to generate an MCD file, containing the proper CNC codes.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 8/265 1.4 Starting Opening the software: DB erccreo [X) Creo Direct 20 IS Creo Distributed Batch 20 1) Creo Distributed Services Manager 2 [ij Creo Layout20 Tei GeoParemetic20 | (a Creo Simulate 20 ) ModelCHECK Dh Legacy ‘The main interface: creo’ 20 viene | Unlock Productivity with, cu) FCTCO'20 es ind Bi tccr more, \ 7 » =Creo Parametric Basic Tu 15 You can access the Creo Parametric Options dialog box by clicking ning Options and configurations 9/265 le - Options. ‘The options dialog box contains the following categories: uty Dspy Assentty ‘hope ct nome eatopan tal etrtot E Confira tor Favorites: Environment System Colors Model Display Entity Display Selection Sketcher Assembly Data Exchange Sheetmetal Customize Ribbon Quick Access Toolbar Window Settings.

The material’s hardness is one factor that has a strong, influence on the machinability. Cutting Tool Material: In metal-cutting, High Speed steel and Carbide are two major tool materials widely used. Cutting speed: Cutting speed is the relative speed at which the tool passes through the work material and removes metal. It is normally expressed in meters per minute (or feet per inch in British units). It has to do with the speed of rotation of the workpiece or the tool, as the case may be. The higher the cutting speed, the better the productivity. For every work material and tool material combo, there is always an ideal cutting speed available, and the tool manufacturers generally give the guidelines for it Spindle speed: Spindle speed is expressed in RPM (revolutions per minute), Itis derived based on the cutting speed and the work diameter cut (in case of turning/ boring) or tool diameter (in case of drilling/ milling etc.). If V is the cutting speed and D is the diameter of cutting, then Spindle speed N = V /(Pi xD) Depth of cut: It indicates how much the tool digs into the component (in mm) to remove material in the current pass. Feed rate: The relative speed at which the tool is linearly traversed over the workpiece to remove the material. In case of rotating tools with multiple cutting teeth (like a milling cutter), the feed rate is first reckoned in terms of “feed per tooth,” expressed in millimeters (mm/tooth). At the next stage, itis “feed per revolution” (mm/rev). In case of lathe operations, itis feed per revolution that states how much a tool advances in one revolution of workpiece. In case of milling, feed per revolution is nothing but feed per tooth multiplied by the number of teeth in the cutter. To actually calculate the time taken for cutting a job, it is “feed per minute” (in mm/min) that is useful. Feed per minute is nothing but feed per revolution multiplied by RPM of the spindle. Tool geometry: For the tool to effectively dig into the component to remove material most efficiently without rubbing, the cutting tool tip is normally ground to different angles (known as rake angle, clearance angles, relief angle, approach angle, ete.). The role played by these angles in tool geometry is a vast subject in itself,Creo Parametric Basic Turning 45/265 8. Coolant: To take away the heat produced in cutting and also to act as a lubricant in cutting to reduce tool wear, coolants are used in metal-cutting, Cool- ants can range from cutting oils, water-soluble oils, oil-water spray, and so on. 9. Machine/ Spindle Power: In the metal-cutting machine, adequate power should be available to provide the drives to the spindles and also to provide feed movement to the tool to remove the material. The power required for cutting is based on the metal removal rate ~ the rate of metal removed in a given time, generally expressed in cubic centimeters per minute, which de- pends on work material, tool material, the cutting speed, depth of cut, and feed rate. 10. Rigidity of machine: The rigidity of the machine is based on the design and construction of the machine, the age and extent of usage of the machine, the types of bearings used, the type of construction of slide ways, and the type of drive provided to the slides. All play a role in the machining of components and getting the desired accuracy, finish, and speed of production.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 46/265 1.10.1 Cutting Speed Formulas Most machining operations are conducted on machine tools having a rotating spindle, Cutting speeds are usually given in feet or meters per minute and these speeds must be converted to spindle speeds, in revolutions per minute, to operate the machine, Conversion is accomplished by use of the following formulas: For U.S.units: For metric units: _ 12V _ gg¥ 10007 _ aig 4h N = EX = 3825 rpm N = = 318.355 rpm Where N is the spindle speed in revolutions per minute (rpm); V is the cutting speed in feet per minute (fpm) for U.S. units and meters per minute (m/min) for metric units. In turning, D is the diameter of the workpiece; in milling, drilling, reaming, and other operations that use a rotating tool, D is the cutter diameter in inches for USS. units and in millimeters for metric units. x = 3.1417. Example: The cutting speed for turning a 4-inch (102-mm) diameter bar has been found to be 575 fpm (175.3 m/min). Using both the inch and metric formulas, caleu- late the lathe spindle speed (N). 10007 _ 10001753 _ 547 nD ~ 3.1417x102 > 2Y 12x51 _ gag cm N= N= aD ~ 3ifiTx4~ When the cutting tool or workpiece diameter and the spindle speed in rpm are known, it is often necessary to calculate the cutting speed (CS) in feet or meters per minute. In this event, the following formulas are used. For US. units: For metric units: DN _mDN. v= 5 fpm V = Tyg Emin Feed (F): In the CNC Lathe work the feedrate is not measured in terms of time but, as the actual distance the tool travels in one spindle revolution (rotation).

When feeding radially towards the centre of the workpiece, the rpm will increase, until it reaches the rpm limit of the machine spindle. When this, limitation is passed, the cutting speed, ve, will decrease until it reaches 0 m/min at the component centre. The feed (f) in mm/rev is the movement of the too! in relation to the revolving workpiece. This is a key value in determining the quality of the surface being machined and for ensuring that the chip formation is within the scope of the tool geometry. This value influences, not only how thick the chip is, but also how the chip forms against the insert geometry. ‘The cutting depth (ap) in mm is the difference between un-cut and cut surface. It is half of the difference between the un-cut and cut diameter of the workpiece. The cutting depth is always measured at right angles to the feed direction of the tool. ‘The cutting edge approach to the workpiece is expressed through the entering angle («r). This is the angle between the cutting edge and the direction of feed and is an important angle in the basic selection of a turning tool for an operation, The entering angle usually varies between 45 to 95 degrees but for profiling operations, even larg- er entering angles are useful. The entering angle can be selected for accessibility and to enable the tool to machine in several feed directions, giving versatility and reduc- ing the number of tools needed. Feed and depth of the cut are chosen together. The ratio (£ : a,) is important factor as well as the cross-sectional area of the chip (A= f x ap) Recommended ratio for the feed and depth of the cut in turning is: For example if the depth of the cut is 3mm, the feed can be 0.5 ~ 0.3mm. Guiding value for roughing feed is 0.2-1.0mm and for finishing 0.1-0.3mm.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 49/265 1.10.3 Surface roughness The surface quality of the machined parts is one of the most important product quality characteristics and one of the most frequent customer requirements, The surface roughness greatly affects the functional performance of mechanical parts such as wear resistance, fatigue strength, ability of distributing and holding a lubricant, heat generation and transmission, corrosion resistance, etc, The perfect surface quality in turning would not be achieved even in the absence of irregularities and deficiencies of the cutting process, as well as environmental ef- fects. There are various parameters used to evaluate the surface roughness. In the present research, the average surface roughness ( R, ) was selected as a characteristic of surface finish in turning operations. It is the most used standard parameter of surface roughness. The surface roughness factors are previously described: Cutting speed Feed rate Depth of cut Nose Radius Surface roughness is decreasing with decreasing of the feed rate. High nose radius produce better surface finish than small nose radius because of the maximum uncut chip thickness decreases with increase of nose radius. In turning operations, the generated surface finish will be directly influenced by the combination of nose radius and feed rate. ‘Small nose radius: ‘© Ideal for small cutting depths ‘* Reduces vibration ‘© Less insert strengthCreo Parametric Basic Turning 50/265 Large nose radius: Heavy feed rates Large depths of cut Stronger edge Increased radial forces.

Asa general rule of thumb, the depth of cut should be greater than or equal to 2/3 of the nose radius, or 1/2 of the nose radius in the feed direction.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 51/265 1.10.4 Constant Surface Speed To maintain a constant rate of material removal as the cutting diameter decreases, most CNC machines automatically speed up the spindle, based on how far the tool moves towards center. This constantly variable spindle control is called Constant Surface Speed (CSS) mode. It is commanded on most machines using G96 to activate, and G97 to de-activate. When the tool moves down the face of the part, the diameter where the cutting edge contacts the part gets smaller. fesa c20a0, (650 sats the maximum spindle speed for ths tol fo97 s1200 T101 m03 697 cancels CSS so the spindle speed doos not change asthe turret raps to poston fcoo x2. zo “Tool movesto sta ofc.

When invoked, you will hear the lathe spindle increase as the tool moves from the perimeter of the cut to the part center. The G50 command is important because it keeps the spindle from over-speeding. CSS does not apply where the tool does not change its position along X. For example, don't use CSS mode for drilling or tapping on part centerline.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 52/265 1.11 Camshaft cutting parameters When a high quality camshaft is required, engine builders and camshaft manufactur- «ers choose to make the camshaft from steel billet. In this case the material of the camshaft is EN4OB. It is a chromium-molybdenum nitriding steel and usually sup- plied in the hardened and tempered condition, which offers high wear resistance together with good toughness and ductility. It is characterized by its suitability for nitriding, which can give a hard wear resistant core in the range of 61-65Re. The rela- tively low temperature of the nitriding process produces components with a scale free surface, and minimum distortion, EN4O0B Related Specifications - 1.8515, 31CrMo12, 30CD12, 722M24 Tensile Strength Rm Yield Stress Re Hardness HB Cutting speed (V) for High Speed Steel (HSS) tools is 60 foot per minute (ft/min) = 18m/min, Cutting speed (V) for Carbide tools is 300 foot per minute (ft/min) = 90m/min, Note! Keep in mind previously mentioned the Basics about Metal Cutting Pa- rameters. For example: The diameter of the bar is 50mm and when using carbide inserts the cutting speed is 90m/min.

The same numbers of tabs are also available when using solid tools!Creo Parametric Basic Turning 82/265 Settings: You can specify a number of items relating to the tool table, including: — Tool Number ~ This corresponds to the number field in a tool table, which specifies the tool's pocket number. = Offset Number — This corresponds to the offset field in a tool table, which sup- plies a value for the gauge length register. — Gauge X Length and Gauge Z Length — Optional parameters used to create length qualifiers in the LOADTL or TURRET statements. Cut Data: 1 Sem xae You can create cutting data for tools, enabling you to configure optimum feed rates, spindle speeds, and depth-of-cut. This data can then be passed into NC steps. The cutting data is based on the material that you are machining, the specific tool you are using, and the application, which can be either roughing or finishing.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 83/265 2.7.2 Solid Turning tools You can use solid model turning tools to enhance CL data display and check for interference when verifying toolpaths. You need to complete the following steps to use solid models as tools when creating NC steps. © Create a part or assembly with the tool's name, © Create the desired tool geometry in the solid model © Create a coordinate system in the model, and name it TIP. For holemaking tools, the Z-axis of the coordinate system must point to the tool. This coordinate system represents the tool tip (often referred to as the control point), This point specifies the X-, Y-, and Z-positions for the tool in NC steps. * Add parameters to the model with the names corresponding exactly with the tool parameter names or associate solid model dimensions with tool parameters. You can do this by changing dimension symbols to correspond to tool parameter names. For example, length and nose_radius. File Eat View Dee m Kom Toor. T0010 TOOL GATE.

There are different coordinate system for tools and holders. For Turning, the axes of the tool coordinate system must be oriented so that they coincide with the direction of the NC sequence coordinate system’s axes when the tool is in default orientation Change the coordinate system’s name to TIP. TIP-coordinate system represents the tool tip (often referred to as the control point). This point specifies the X-, Y-, and Z-positions for the tool in NC steps. The other needed coordinate system is TOOL_POINT when using assembly type solid tool and Machine Simulation. You have to create TOOL_POINT-coordinate system for the tool and NC Machine.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 86/265 ‘When simulating tool path with Machine Play you can see there is a many coordinate systems for different functions: If you want use Vericut-software for simulations, you need one coordinate system more named INSERT.

The same (left side picture) tool is from back side when it is in the machine. Notice the coordinate system directions! Nose radius is 0.8mm and the TIP-coordinate system is center of the nose. NC Manufacturing uses the XY plane defined by the INSERT_CSYS to compute the profile and the position of the INSERT_CSYS to assemble the insert on the tool in Vericut. The profile of the tool and the rotation and translation information to define the position of the insert are exported to Vericut. In part level, activate insert, and create coordinate system to the center of the insert named INSERT: ‘The axes of the INSERT coordinate system must be oriented so that they coincide with the direction of the TIP coordinate system’s axes.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 90/265 2.7.6 Solid Turning tool parameters You need to define a number of parameters for the tools. If an assembly is used as a tool model, the system will search the assembly first, and then all the component parts in the same order as they were assembled (that is, the first component will be searched first), for the tool parameters and origin data. Once a parameter is set, all values for the same parameter found later will be ignored. In other words, the top- level assembly parameters take precedence over component parameters, and after that the precedence is determined by the order of assembly. If, after all components are searched, some of the tool parameters are missing, an error message will appear and you will be asked to select another tool. If you are using your own made tool or PTC standard solid tools, you can find parameters from part level as below: A | jvensr ‘eesimar. 1s0000. += it properties: \ J : om | : roeCreo Parametric Basic Turning 91/265 You can toggle between dimension values and names using Switch Symbols: | Toots [View Flexible Modeling Applications = ap CParameters—— @ UOF Library 2 Wrage Estor ‘Component Publish Famiy ( sutensymate) (3 Anpesrances anager Gp port Prote Ector at + | terface Geomeiry Table d= Reletons SR Auritary Apoeations I Moda ant > vies | swnten symbots if | Teoole between dimension alues | andnames length E Also you can use relations: 3 A Oreweme — guariny Pima aia 7 Enso (Ghomencntinne ieatotteer | Fe Eat lt Puan User Show 3 SS amen ae ce = oc YS Gx es Be 0a) If you give symbolic name for the dimension, for example length, itis also parameter!Creo Parametric Basic Turning 92/265 If you are using solid tools from the supplier and download model for example in STEP-format, you have to create all needed parameters by yourself.

The tool in front is called Tool Attachment,Creo Parametric Basic Turning 102/265 2.8.4.1 Tool Attachment Tool attachment is an assembly of a tool and an attachment. The tool and the attachment can be part models or subassemblies. You can define a tool attachment, such as a right angle head, and use it in a NC Manufacturing session, The attachment holds a cutting tool in a fixed, non-vertical position, to extend the capabilities of a 3-axis machine. Typical examples include machining of oil grooves in an engine block, or drilling holes in the side of a component. Below is an example of turning tool attachment: el prsBip von When you specify a tool attachment at the time of NC sequence setup, you select a previously defined Creo model (part or assembly). This model may be as simple as two coordinate systems, named SPINDLE_CONTROL_POINT and ‘TOOL_ATTACH_POINT, or it may be a complete solid model with the appropriate coordinate systems defined.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 103/265 The model also has to include a parameter ATTACHMENT_NUMBER, which will be used for the CL file output as an identification of the holder. The possible values for the TOOL_ATTCHMENT parameter are YES and NO. For the attachment part or assembly the value must be set to YES.

Each of these dialog boxes has the following options: Parameter - Open the parameter tree. Comment - Type comments regarding NC sequences Define - Specify the tool, parameters, and geometric references. You can also apply some low-level control depending on the NC sequence type. Info - Display parameter and NC sequence information. Preview - Display the tool path for the NC sequence prior to completion of the NC sequence. Available after all elements have been defined, Done - Completes creation of the current NC sequence. Cancel - Terminates the creation of the current NC sequence after confirmation Next - Completes the current NC sequence and starts creating another Nibble Edge NC sequence with the same tool and parametersCreo Parametric Basic Turning 110/265 2.9.1 Turning Manufacturing Parameters Manufacturing parameters enable you to control how an NC sequence is generated. ‘You can specify and edit parameter values as needed, You can configure and store manufacturing parameters in global site files or in NC specific parameter files. You can retrieve these files, enabling you to quickly and easily set suitable parameter values when creating NC sequences, Itis important to understand the different ways in which you can configure manufacturing parameters! Parameter types are divided by six logical categories: Feeds and Speeds Cut Depth and Allowances Cutting Motions. Entry/Exit Motions Machine Settings. General Required parameters must be configured (marked yellow color). You create NC sequences by selecting or creating geometry to machine. You then determine how to generate the toolpath by modifying manufacturing parameters. The parameters available for configuration can vary depending on the type of NC sequence that you are creating. Some parameters such as feed rate and spindle speed are present in all NC sequence types. Some parameters are specific to certain types of sequences. When you create NC sequences, only the relevant parameters are available for configuration. Required parameters — If a parameter is highlighted in a light yellow color in the Edit Parameters dialog box, then it is a required parameter. You must specify a value for this type of parameter to calculate a toolpath.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 111/265 Optional parameters — If a parameter has a default value of “.,” itis an optional parameter. -You can leave this type of parameter unchanged if required. For example, APPROACH_FEED = -. ~ This type of parameter is not used unless you specify a value, Numeric assigned parameters — This type of parameter is assigned a specific numeric value by default, - For example, CUT_ANGLE = 0.~ You can change these parameters to other specific values if desired. Non-numeric assigned parameters ~ This type of parameter is assigned a specific non-numeric value by default. - For example, COOLANT_OPTION = OFF. — You can change these parameters to other specific values if desired. You can select the available values from a drop-down list.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 112/265 2.9.2 Turning Sequences Tuming sequences allow you to create 2 axis and 4 axis tool paths to machine parts ‘on CNC lathes. There are 5 types of Turning NC sequences: Area Profile Groove ‘Thread Holemaking Each of these types (except holemaking) can be used for either Outside, Inside, or Facing NC Sequences. Tool Orientation and the part boundary determine whether the system processes the outside, inside or face of the part. 2.9.3 Turning Cut Geometry To define cut geometry for a Turning NC Sequence, you have to create a Turn Pro- file. A Turn Profile is a separate feature (similar to a Mill Volume or Mill Window), which you can define either at setup time or when you define an NC Sequence. You can then reference the Turn Profile in more than one Turning NC Sequence. This functionality enables you to define the cut references once, and then use this definition to create rough, semi-finish, and finish NC Sequences. ‘The Turn Profile is the shape of the material after the cut is applied. FINTURN PROFLE)Creo Parametric Basic Turning 113/265 ‘There are many ways to develop a Turn Profile (Cut Geometry): 1 2. Use surfaces to define turn profile. 3. 4, Use cross section to define turn 1 Create an envelope on-the-fly to create a turn profile. Use sketch to define turn profile. Turning Envelopes are intended for use primarily when machining parts with a non-circular cross section. The system generates a Turning Envelope by rotating the reference part or the workpiece around the turning axis (that is, about the z-axis of the Turning Envelope coordinate system), and then inter- secting the outside perimeter of the rotated shape with the XZ plane of this coordinate system, The resulting chain of entities can be used to define a Turn Profile. For Area and Groove NC Sequences, the intent is generally to define an area to be removed, This is usually done by selecting edges or surfaces on the design model to be machined from inside the Turn Profile dashboard. The area is then automatically extended out to the edges of the workpiece/stock boundary. If you use the Select Surface option, you must pick a start surface and an end surface on the reference part. All the surfaces in between the selected start and end surfaces are automatically selected. This option is par- ticularly useful when defining an area with several surfaces (such as fillets and chamfers) in between the start and end surfaces. If you desire to machine only one surface in a particular step, then only select the surface once, not twice (the second time de-selects the surface).Creo Parametric Basic Turning 114/265 3. When sketching a Turn Profile, keep in mind that the sketch must lie in the XZ plane of the NC Sequence coordinate system and completely on one side of the x-axis (either positive or negative). The default orientation of the mod- cl upon entering Sketcher is as follows: © If the workcell is defined as Horizontal (with the z-axis pointing to the right and x-axis pointing up). © If the workcell is defined as Vertical (with the z-axis pointing up and x- axis pointing to the right) The tool follows this profile based on a Start Point, The Start Point is defined in the sketch and can be moved to any curve endpoint in the sketch. Tos Vw Agpleatons —Taen ar Proie Noi v xCreo Parametric Basic Turning 115/265 4, If a reference part for turning has a complex contour, the process of defining the cut by selecting edges, or sketching and aligning, can be time consuming. ‘You can accelerate this process by using the cross section option. 20 Section VewerCreo Parametric Basic Turning 116/265 3 CAMSHAFT TURNING SEQUENCES 3.1.

The tool path for area sequences are automatically generated by referencing the manufacturing parameters and scanning the area to be removed between the part and the workpiece. There are three types of Area Removal NC Sequences: 1, Outside Area Removal 2. Face Area 3. Inside Area In this case the first area to be removed lies outside the part, so the system generates outside turning sequence. The Area option enables you to rough material from the outside of the part. When the profile and orientation are set up properly, this option enables the tool to machine stock from the OD toward the centerline in a series of parallel passes. Key parameters used by Outside Area Turning: * ROUGH_STOCK_ALLOW — Amount of stock left by the roughing portion of the toolpath. © Z_STOCK_ALLOW - Sets the amount of stock left on the faces; defaults to the same value set for PROFILE_STOCK_ALLOW. * PROFILE_STOCK_ALLOW — Amount of stock left by the profiling portion of the toolpath; must be less than or equal to the ROUGH_STOCK_ALLOW parameter. © CUT_ANGLE — Change the angle of cuts relative to the NC Sequence coordinate system. A value of 0 creates cuts along the z-axis. * TOOL_ORIENTATION ~ Orientation of the turning tool relative to the Z- axis; default value is 90. © STEP_DEPTH - Sets the incremental depth of each cut.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 121/265 Task 3.1.2: Outside area NC sequence.

Task 3.1.3 is ready.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 132/265 3.1.4 Material Removal Cut ‘Material removal is an assembly (or workpiece) feature that can be created to represent the material removed from the workpiece by an individual NC sequence. NC ‘Manufacturing provides two methods of generating material removal simulation: ‘© Automatic—The system automatically calculates material to remove based on the geometric references specified for the NC sequence. When you create an automatic material removal feature, the system lets you specify whether or not the feature should be visible at part level (that is, when you retrieve a workpiece in Part mode). ‘© Construct—Create material removal feature yourself as a regular Creo feature (Cut, Hole). ‘The purpose of this feature is to reshape the workpiece so the part looks just as it will during the actual machining process at the completion of that NC step. The easiest ‘method to create material removal features is to create them automatically, where the system creates it based on the information it has. Sometimes the system does not have sufficient information. The system then provides the option of manually constructing a material removal feature (except for Thread steps). The means for constructing a manual material removal feature are identical to those for creating other sketched features. When the cut geometry for Area and Groove turning has been defined by sketching, the system enables you to create the material removal feature automatically. Since ‘Area and Groove cut geometries are determined by the workpiece boundaries, it is recommended that a material removal feature be created following each NC step to avoid air machining in later steps. ‘Model without a Material Removal Feature on the left side and Model with a Material Removal Feature on the right side.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 133/265 Task 3.1.4: Create Material Removal Cut.

This option causes the tool to machine stock from positive Z towards negative Z in a series of parallel passes. Many materials and/or tools require a specific tool for facing operations, In other words, roughing and finishing tools for facing can only be used on faces that are either exactly perpendicular to the Z-axis or nearly perpendicular. If separate facing operations are not required, you may be able to rely only on profiling (or outside) using the SCAN_TYPE set to TYPE_l. Facing operations are also utilized for removing a large area of material which is not very long, but lies along a large diameter, The key parameters used by Area Face Turning: * Z_STOCK_ALLOW - Sets the amount of stock left on the faces; defaults to the same value set for PROFILE_STOCK_ALLOW. © CUT_ANGLE - Changes the angle of cuts relative to the NC Sequence coordinate system. A value of 0 creates cuts along the z-axis. * TOOL_ORIENTATION - Orientation of the turning tool relative to the Z-axis; default value is 90. Task 3.1.5: Face Area NC sequence.

Task 3.1.5 is ready.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 138/265 3.2 Groove Turning Groove NC Turning sequences are similar to Area NC sequences in that the area has been defined, and the toolpath is automatically generated by scanning the area and removing it in step increments. In practical terms, the toolpath needs to be created vertically for outside and inside sequences and horizontally for face sequences. In Creo Parametric, you drive the tool parallel (in and out of the groove), parallel to the too! orientation angle, ‘One of the biggest differences between Groove and Area sequences is that groove tools have cutting edges on both sides which enable them to cut in either direction and are generally shaped to fit the groove. ‘The key parameters used by Groove Turning: For Groove turning, the tool always cuts normal to the groove bottom. The distance between two neighboring cuts is defined by the STEP_OVER parameter, the height of retract between the cuts (the system start level) is set to CLEAR_DIST. The final retract is controlled by the PULLOUT _DIST parameter. If you specify the ROUGH_OPTION parameter value as ROUGH_&_PROF, the tool will also make a profiling pass across the groove. The ROUGH_STOCK_ALLOW and PROF_STOCK_ALLOW parameters define the amount of stock to be left for the finishing NC sequence. TOOL_ORIENTATION - Orientation of the turning tool relative to the Z-axis (default value is 90). OUTPUT_POINT — Defaults to CENTER, controls the XZ-values output to the tape file. Tip & Center are the most often used options.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 139/265 3.2.1 Outside Groove Turning Groove NC Turning sequence is needed next because there is too much working al- Jowance for the finishing tool as described below.

Next step is Profile Turning. Task 3.2.1 is ready.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 147/265 3.3 Profile Turning Profiling enables you to follow a series of edges or sketched curves with the tool. As with Area, you can extend the edges to force the tool to enter and exit the part beyond the actual geometry. The type of sequence you create, whether it is Outside, Face, or Inside, is based sole- ly on the location of the surfaces you select or the machining geometry you sketch (and the material side you select). If the surfaces you select are located on the outside of the part, the system assumes you want to generate an Outside Profiling sequence. ‘This means that the tool moves along the side of the surface which faces away from the centerline (Z Axis). If the boundary or faces are vertical, the system generates a Face Profiling sequence. If the faces are on the inside of the part, or the material side of a sketch boundary faces away from the centerline, the system generates an Inside Profiling sequence. 3.3.1 Outside Profile Turning The Profile option enables you to remove material leftover from an Area cut. When the profile and orientation are setup properly, this option creates a finishing toolpath. The following is a summary of the key parameters used by Profile Turning: * STOCK_ALLOW - The amount of stock left by the toolpath applied to all surfaces. « Z-STOCK_ALLOW - The amount of stock left on the faces, The default value is the same value set by STOCK_ALLOW. * TOOL_ORIENTATION ~ Orientation of the turning too! relative to the Z- axis. The default value is 90.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 148/265 Task 3.3.1: Create Outside Profile Turning Sequence. Click Profile Turning from the Turning Group.

The biggest difference between mill and lathe Holemaking sequences is that all lathe Holemaking features must be parallel to the Z-axis. Note! The order of the different sequences is very important as well as what kinds of tools are available. The following pages are for basic tools and purpose is describing different holemaking NC Sequences. If you are using Solid Carbide Drills or Indexable Head Drills with Coolant Holes you don’t need Countersink or Breakchip or Deep drilling sequences. For example the picture above, first operation could be: 12 dia hole, solid carbide drill 8.5 dia hole, solid carbide drill Tap M10 Inside area dia 16.5, deep 11, Mini Shaft holder eRe Second operation: 1, Indexable Head Drill dia 16Creo Parametric Basic Turning 159/265 3.4.1. Countersink Sequence ‘The Countersink cycle enables you to create a centerline countersink cycle to drive a tool along the center axis until a countersink to a specified diameter or depth is created. You define the hole and start surface in the same manner as a drill. You enter a countersink diameter and the system drives the tool to the depth required to create the countersink diameter in the start surface. You can define the diameter for countersink using the following: ‘© Start Surface — The surface the required diameter is defined on. ‘* Diameter Value ~ The programmed value of the countersink needed; the system will calculate the depth required from the tool defined.

Task 3.4.2 is ready. So far the first operation looks as below. There are two NC Sequences to define, tapping and inside area,Creo Parametric Basic Turning 174/265 3.4.2.1 Tapping Sequence Many times the hole diameter that needs threading is too small for conventional threading tools used for internal threads. If this is the case, you can program tapping cycles, just like in milling. You must specify a start surface and a depth for the tap. If the tap has a chamfer on its end, the system will actually drive the tap beyond the end Of the threads until the OD of the tap reaches the end of the required thread. If you are not using a bottom tap, you must enable relief behind the bottom of the thread so that the tap does not collide with the part. Task 3.4.2.1: Create Tapping Sequence.

Click Apply Changes from the dashboard. Task 3.4.2.1 is ready.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 178/265 3.4.2.2 Inside Area Turning The Area option enables you to rough material from the interior faces of the part. This option causes the tool to machine stock in a series of passes which are parallel with the centerline of the machine tool. The inside area is basically the same as the outside area and facing toolpaths, except that it steps away from the centerline instead of towards it. Since tool movement is generally of greater concern during inside machining (because the tool and tool holder are actually inside the part), you may find itis useful to utilize the position option to visually check for tool holder interference at selected tool positions. You can also use Sections with Play Path: ‘The following is a summary of the key parameters used by Area Tuning: * ROUGH_STOCK_ALLOW ~ Amount of stock left by the roughing portion of the toolpath. © PROFILE_STOCK_ALLOW ~ Amount of stock left by the profiling portion of the toolpath; must be less than or equal to the ROUGH_STOCK_ALLOW parameter. © CUT_ANGLE — Changes the angle of cuts relative to the NC Sequence coordinate system. A value of 0 creates cuts along the z-axis. * TOOL_ORIENTATION — Orientation of the tuning tool relative to the Z- axis; default value is 90. (Edit TOOL_ORIENTATION to 0).Creo Parametric Basic Turning 179/265 Task 3.4.2.2: Create Inside Area Turning Sequence.

You need also to select or define a new coordinate system. The real part looks as below left after the first operation. Soft jaws are machinable jaws. Basically, the standard jaws are removed and a set of aluminum or mild steel jaws are bolted onto the chuck where the standard jaws used to fit. It is important to make a plug for the new set of machined jaws. A plug is turned to a diameter close to the diameter you wish hold in the new soft jaws. Prior to machining, the jaws should be tightened around the plug towards the rear of the soft jaw set. This will provide rigidity while the jaws are machined and will insure that clamping pressure and scroll looseness are removed while turning.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 184/265 In this case there is space enough for the collar of the model. The reference model is shown in a red color and material which has to be removed in a green color.

Below is the workpiece from start to final shape: Before the creating of the CNC Code you should know the basics of CNC language and structure. As well you should know the CNC machine what is available for the work and what is the needed CNC code type. Task 3.7 is ready.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 214/265 4 CNC LANGUAGE AND STRUCTURE 4.1 NC or CNC In a Numerical Control (NC) machine, the program is fed to the machine through magnetic tapes or other such media. The original NC machines were essentially basic machine tools which were modified to have motors for movement along the axes. In a Computer Numerical Controlled (CNC) machine, the machines are interfaced with computers. This makes them more versatile in the sense that, suppose a change in dimension of a partis required. In a NC machine, you would have had to change the program in the tape and then feed it to the machine again. But in a CNC machine, you just change a variable in the computer and your modification is done. In order to understand where CNC Machining first appeared, it is important to note that the said machine’s advent can be traced back to the invention of the NC (numerical controlled) machine made by John T. Parsons during the 1940s-1950s. The NC was a breakthrough invention that led the way towards modern automated machines. The CNC machine first appeared when John Runyon managed to produce punch tapes under computer control. This showed dramatic results in terms of time, redue- ing the normal production duration of 8 hours to 15 minutes. In June 1956, the Air Force accepted the proposal to produce a generalized “programming” language for NC. Today you can see that the both terms are used, For example, there can be job adver- tisement for the CNC Programmer or NC Programmer. In this book the language is based on G-code which is the common name for the most widely used programming language. In the world, the standard ISO 6983 is often used, although in varied states of Europe sometimes used other standards, example DIN 66025 There are also the other languages as Heidenhain, Siemens, Mazak and more, Many of the other languages can be translated to G-code if needed.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 215/265 4.2 Structure of an NC program ‘An NC program is a text that is normally stored as a sequence of ASCII codes in a file on the hard disk. It consists of a sequence of NC blocks separated by line breaks. Usually it is executed by being interpreted and worked through, character by character and line by line. The NC program can be divided by three parts: © Program start (optional) © A number of blocks (NC words) © Program end Program start At the beginning of an NC program the character '%' can represent the start of the program, The name of the program is then found following this character. % 01234 (program start) N10 GO X100 Y100 ZO M30 (program end) NC block: ‘* Each NC blocks consists of one or several NC words, or even of none (an empty line), separated by spaces or tab characters. Itis therefore not possible to use a space within a word, N10 GO X100 Y100 ZO NC word: © The first character of an NC word specifies its meaning. It is either a letter or a special character. The optional following characters specify the meaning more precisely, or supply parameters for the execution. In G-code we refer to the letters as “words” because each is a "word" telling the controller something to do GO = Move in a straight line at rapids speed. rogram end: The end of the program is indicated by an M-function. Either M2 or M30 is used for this.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 216/265 Between the start and end of the program are NC Blocks as mentioned above. NC block can have a certain number ~ usually N-word. NIO GO X100 Y100 ZO N20 N30 Mostly used G-code words are G and M (for General and Miscellaneous). % 01702 NIO G50 X100. Z50, $2800 N20 G00 T0202 M41 N30 G96 $120 Mo4 Modal or Non-Modal codes: ‘© Many G codes and M codes cause the machine to change from one mode to another, and the mode stays active until some other command changes it im- plicitly or explicitly . Such commands are called "modal". ‘© Non-modal"” codes effect only the lines on which they occur. For example, G4 (dwell) is non-modal. You can find a lot of G-code lists from the internet for example. The G-codes can be varying depending if you are programming lathes or milling machines. Even every machine could have own codes. So you should know the machine functions and control before making CNC programs!Creo Parametric Basic Turning 217/265 4.3. Common G- and M-Codes Not all codes are available on all controls, and some controls have other codes. See your machine manual for detailed explanations.

A sequence of machine operations initiated by a single G-code. Canned cycles act as shortcuts that simplify the program. A powerful and common option available on most CNC machines is the ability to perform canned cycles. Canned cycles give the programmer the option to do some routine functions with a simple G-code instead of writing many lines of information. G70 finishing G71 rough turning or rough boring G72 rough facing G73 pattern repeating G74 grooving G75 peck drilling G76 threading NOTE: A canned cycle stays in effect until cancelled by a G80.

Ending block number, part shape Starting block number, part shape Most CAM systems will take advantage of CNC-based canned cycles. If you want to use canned cycles with CAM, you need to set up the postprocessor less or more.

Before you can use Canned Cycles in CAM programming, you need to make some preliminary work. This work will be useful later as well. The next chapter shows how 10 make user define feature (UDF) for customizing cycles.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 222/265 4.3.4 Manufacturing User Defined Feature A User-Defined Feature (UDF) consists of selected features, all their associated dimensions, any relations between the selected features, and a list of references for placing the UDF on a part. User-defined features can be subordinate or standalone, The UDF dialog box provides a running status of these UDF elements during UDF creation and modification, Manufacturing user-defined sequences (MUDF’s) provide a great way to copy manufacturing features into other models. MUDF’s can create any number of features, including datums, manufacturing geometry such as mill windows or turn profiles, and NC sequences. Common applications for MUDF’s include hole-making (especially auto-drilling), pocket roughing and finishing, and lathe programming. UDF file is a file with the gph extension that you want to insert in the manufacturing, model. For the Area Turning Cycle ~ G71-MUDF, you need to define: * area_turning_cycle_G70_G71.gph © Mapkey + icon Pro/NC-GPOST post-processor definitions ‘Area_turning_cycle_G70_G71.gph - prompts: csYs OPERATION Home Point Reference Model Finish Profile (area turning curve) You can define a Mapkey to load the UDF and create your own Icon to call the mapkey: | 2. classic Area Turning! cannes Cycles J. Classic Area Turing Execute mapkey “ClassicArea Turing” In the following example, the Area_turning_cycle_G70_G71.gph is placed to the Working Directory.Creo Parametric Basic Turning 223/265 4.3.5 Mapkey In Creo Parametric, a mapkey is a keyboard macro that maps frequently used command sequences to certain keyboard keys or sets of keys. The mapkeys are saved in the configuration file mapkey, with each macro beginning on a new line. You can define a unique key or combination of keys which, when pressed, executes the mapkey macro (for example, F8). You can create a mapkey for virtually any task you perform frequently within Creo Parametric. By adding custom mapkeys to your toolbar or menu bar, you can use mapkeys with a single mouse click or menu command and thus automate your workflow. To Define a Mapkey: ‘* Click File - Options - Environment - Mapkeys Settings. The Mapkeys dialog box opens. * Click New. The Record Mapkey dialog box opens. * Type the key sequence that is to be used to execute the mapkey in the Key Sequence text box.

The tool path for area sequences are automatically generated by referencing the manufacturing parameters and scanning the area to be removed between the part and the workpiece. You can make this toolpath without using G71 cycle. In this example you will get, about 87 lines of NC Code: % 01303 N10 T0303 N20 M3 S90 N30 GOO X100. 250.
