Mastercam Dynamic Turning
Dynamic turning is a modern manufacturing method that revolutionizes the way we machine metal and plastic parts. This process offers several significant advantages compared to traditional turning methods. Mastercam's dynamic turning utilizes the same calculation formula as dynamic milling, which calculates the contact angle of the tool with the material being machined. This ensures stable machining conditions, allowing the tool to cut at the same feed and cutting speed during both the entry feed and turning feed movements. Dynamic turning achieves excellent chip control and a reliable machining process, making it an excellent choice for "unmanned" machining.
Cutting Tools in Dynamic Turning
Dynamic turning is performed with round insert turning tools using smooth machining movements. When using a parting off tool, the suitability of the tool for side turning must be considered. For instance, Walter Tools' new screw-fastened DX18 parting off tool insert has a reinforced blade at the bottom of the tool, and lateral movement of the insert is prevented by a fastening groove at the face of the insert. To ensure the best outcome, it is recommended to use a tool with through-coolant.
