Programs for all positions – regardless of X, Y or XY mirroring
Whether you routinely make ‘left hand’ and ‘right hand’ parts or you use all ‘origins’ to make the same part, programming for a mirrored position in WoodWOP requires extra time (and care). ONGAA CAM allows programming for any mirror position with only one selection.
To achieve ‘handed’ manufacturing, the program, designed for the #1 position, will generate a ‘Normal program’ and a ‘Mirror in X program’. Although contour geometry is ‘mirrored’, routing strategies will be altered from climb routing to conventional. ONGAA CAM provides a special features to overcome to need to think is reverse. “Mirror Copy” will copy the process, with all the options and definitions, but reverse both the contour direction and the tool compensation. Combined with the mirroring WoodWOP variables, each routing process can be turned on of off, by WoodWOP, depending on the position it is NC-GEN’ed for.
One program for any positions is more difficult … Read the rest
