Hi guys,


Don'tyouknow if in ProE you have a way to use Trochoidal Milling like the command EdgeCam has or something like it, below you have a little brief explanation use itin EdgeCam:



<H1>Using Trochoidal Milling</H1>


The availability of this option is licence dependant.


In the Approach tab of the Roughing cycle you can specify that Trochoidal milling should be used for full width cuts (that is cuts that exceed the specified % stepover).





In a narrow channel there may not be room for a trochoidal cut, in this case the channel is excluded from the cycle.


When using Trochoidal milling the tool cannot run as tightly into corners. These areas can be cut with the Rest Roughing cycle.
 
Please use the roughing option with window and choose constant load in scan type. you can use 49% step over (of your tool dia). If you want to machine narrow channels with trochoidal machining strategy, use a little bit smaller tool.
Tool Dia <(channel width-stock remain in roughing).
