Max Cut Depth in CAM

Max Cut Depth in CAM

Max Cut Depth in CAM

(OP)
Hi All!

 I have done various searches here on this forum but have been unable to find this information...

   How can I find the maximum cutting depth in a particular tool path so that I can incorporate that data into my shop documentation?

   I am currently running 64bit NX7.0, soon to upgrade to NX7.5.

 Thanks Beforehand!

RE: Max Cut Depth in CAM

If you are looking for one of the depth per cut parameters in the operation, you can access all the operation parameters in shop docs - turn on the review tool and you will see everything available.

If you are looking for the minimum Z in the tool path, then you need to postprocess to get that value.

This has been discussed a few times on the NX CAM forum.

I am indeed looking for the minimum Z in the toolpath.
Could you please direct me to the "NX CAM" forum?

Thanks Beforehand!
