6. KnowledgeBase Integration
WinTool work materials and cutting conditions
WinTool cutting conditions have also been transferred to the KB

7. Activate Work Material
Set up part material to enable usage of cutting conditions

8. First Operation: Facing
Choose tool: face mill
Select operation
Activate KB
Get cutting condition
Als Erstes soll das Rohteil plan gefräst werden.
Nachdem die Funktion festgelegt ist, wählen wir aus den übergebenen Werkzeugen den Messerkopf.
Bei Aktivierung der KB werden die Schnittwerte automatisch übernommen.
Nachdem die weiteren Angaben zur Bearbeitung angegeben sind, wird das Fenster verlassen.
Adjust operation details and exit

9. Verify face mill operation 1:1 representation of tool and holder
Verify Operation 1
Verify face mill operation
1:1 representation of tool and holder
Für die Simulation wird eine Massgerechte Darstellung des Werkzeugs verwendet.
Die Kontur des Werkzeugs, der Verlängerungen und des Halters werden automatisch aufgebaut.

10. Second Operation: Pocketing
Select tool for wall finishing
Select tool for roughing
Adjust operation details and exit

11. Verify pocketing operation
Verify Operation 2
Verify pocketing operation
Collision detected

12. Get an Alternative Tool
Set tool class and other search filters
Check details and transfer tool to ESPRIT
Get a better suited tool for the operation
Select tool
Import a single tool assembly

13. Replace Tool and Verify
Select the new tool and get cutting conditions
Verify operation with replaced end mill
Replace the tool that caused the collision

14. Continue with other Operations
face milling
pocketing
roughening cont.
drilling 0.27
drilling 0.315
