Best practices for PrimeTurning™

CoroPlus® Tool Path secures the correct tool path, entry into the workpiece, giving optimal productivity when performing PrimeTurning™.
Learn the best practices to use CoroPlus® Tool Path for your PrimeTurning™ projects.

How to set the diameter of a workpiece in the middle of the tolerance?

Suppose you have a profile that you need to adjust the diameter to be in the middle of tolerance. In that case, you can easily add that stock by entering the coordinate mode in the software and add the tolerance you want.
The tolerance for the shaft in between 30 and 50 mm diameters, in the image below, is -25 to -50 micrometres. It means that the middle of tolerance diameter should be 40.0125 mm instead of the original 40 mm.
Changing from 40 to 40.0125 and regenerating the NC code, you will get the output where the software considered the tolerance.

How to modify a workpiece, which contains a not machinable segment?

Every time you import a component, CoroPlus® Tool Path analyzes the profile that can be machined with an external tool. If the machining task is external turning and the imported profile contains segments that cannot be machined, the software will warn you and give you two possibilities.

You can either automatically let the software remove lines that are not suitable for the external turning operation, or you can modify the profile on your own.

If you choose to remove the hole, the software will remove the hole automatically.

If you choose to modify the profile manually, the hole will still be there, and you can modify the profile that will be machined and remove lines that are not going to be machined in external operation.

In CoroPlus® Tool Path, you can easily remove points that are not going to be machined by selecting any row (1) in the coordination table (the software will highlight the point in the model) and press Delete segment in the drop-down menu (2,3).

You should repeat the procedure until the final profile for external machining is reached.
