Chamfer toolpath in Catia V5R10 manufacturing

Chamfer toolpath in Catia V5R10 manufacturing

(OP)
Hi,

I need to create a toolpath to cut a chamfer on my part.  I have tried using the curve following but the tool tip always follows the edge causing the tool to gouge the chamfer.  Therefore I will need to either specify a curve that is offsetted from the chamfer edge or to specify an offset on the tool somehow.

Does anyone know of an easier way?

thanks
Albert

RE: Chamfer toolpath in Catia V5R10 manufacturing

Hi,

If you migrate to R11, you will be able to drive a countersink in a contouring operation. This will make it easier to drive and to verify the toolpath. In R10, you can simulate the countersink with an endmill in contouring and attach a representation ( CUT/UNCUT) of countesink to the tool. This way will see the result in the video replay.

Good luck
