Feed Optimization

The Feed Optimization dialogue is where the user sets physical constraints to the operation.

settings_feedoptimization

Ø Maximum Chip Thickness (A01): Enter the upper limit for the chip thickness during machining
Ø Spindle Torque & Power (A10): Uses the Torque/Power limits of the selected machine for simulation/optimization. If selected, the new toolpath will not violate the machine's limits.
Ø Tool Bending Force (A04): Enter the limit of the tool bending force, feeds will be adjusted with the tool bending limit in mind.
Ø Minimum Feed Change % (B02): Enter a minimum limit on the feed change from the original toolpath.
Ø Air Cut Optimization (B03): Also optimizes air movements based on machine limits.
Ø Extra Toolpath Segments (B04): Splits/adds toolpath segments to acheive best optimization results.
Ø Status: Activates/Deactivates Feed Optimization.
