Axis limitations
When using hyperDENT, you can configure machines in --> “Settings” > “Machining” > “Configure machine” such that axis limitations are already checked by hyperDENT during the calculation.
To do so, specify the rotation axis and rotational direction according to the machine to be used.
|
|
|
|
|
Max. tilt angle for parts
|
This value corresponds at most to the angle of the axis with the lowest possible deflection. The system attempts to tilt the part so that the required height is attained. The part height and the part-specific insertion directions are taken into account. When performing 5X simultaneous machining, make sure that there is still enough space for movement of the axes during machining. For example, the lowest axis can be 20 degrees and the maximum angle of inclination for parts can be 15 degrees when working with a 5-degree axis deflection during 5X machining.
|
|

Milling time
Details for calculating the machining time.
|
|
Factor G1
|
1 ... 2
Time factor for the milling time with feedrate.
|
|
1
|
Milling time for G1 calculated according to defined feedrate.
|
|
>1 ... 2
|
Since the actual feedrate also depends on the machine dynamics and number of axes moved, it may be smaller, resulting in longer machining times.
Use the factor (based on experience) to take into account the deviation when calculating the machining time.
|
|
Feedrate G0
|
mm/min
Rapid traverse rate for calculating the time.
|
|
Time for tool change
|
s
Time for the tool change.
|
|
Constant additional time
|
s
Time offset that is added to the calculated machining time, e.g., for tool changes.
|
|
Default machine
|
Use selected machine as default.
