Live tooling lathe without Y axis

Anonymous

Hi, I've been getting to know fusion lathe cam and from following the tutorials I can do most 2d turning operations. Now to try to prove this software and use it for the more complex jobs I sometimes do, I could use some advice with the 2d milling with live tooling. I use a Doosan puma 2600m lathe with live tooling in X and Z axis, but there is no Y axis. In the past I have managed to do different shaped pockets with live Z tools with hand programming, and shift the datum around the C axis as a crude way of repeating the pattern. It works but it would be good if fusion could simplify this. I have modelled a component to try to get this working, but I am struggling to get the compensation applying on the lead in. I think that I need to post the program with G41/G42 codes to get it working on the lathe, but it seems this is only available on 2d contouring (external) and not pocketing?

Hello,

 

Thanks for posting! You can use cutter compensation on your finishing pass inside of 2D pocket... To get this option, enable the finishing passes option in the passes tab:

Hope this helps!
