B-axis live-turning

(OP)
Hi,

We recently recieved a video from dmg, which shows b-axis live turning, I've heard from dmg guys that it's been programmed with NX,

Does anybody know how to program this? Is it a special turning operation or some kind of variable-contour trick?

RE: B-axis live-turning

This look like something that could only be done with some type of variable contour operation.  The hard part would be verifying the tool path.

RE: B-axis live-turning

It is probably an original variable axis milling operations, with an API program to re-orient to a turning path.
