PM Robot Roughing Normal To Surface

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I want to rough cut this block with a robot arm cutting normal to surface (see picture 1) rotating around the block in one pass. I don't want to use a different tool-path it for each side. I looked though the Area Clearance tool-paths and settings but cannot find an option to do it in one go?

Thank you for your help in advance.

When you're roughing in one pass, you want to use a finishing strategy, and just make it a rough by setting a higher thickness. Then you can change the tool axis to Lead/Lean -> Contact Normal. If you're mainly trying to get the sides probably a Line Projection or Constant Z.

Hi @Anonymous,

I will suggest you to give a try with Pattern finishing strategy. In this you can use multiple cut option.

Hope this information help you.
