TICC – Turning
module

The 3D volume model of the blank and the fished part were created by construction in SAT format, but can also be read as STEP, CATIA or any other CAD models.

Time calculation can be started at immediately once the blanks and finished parts are known. The part to be produced is now analysed for roughing, smoothing and penetration operations.

Additional smoothing, e.g. for fittings can be indicated by selecting the corresponding location with a click.

Cutting data are automatically suggested based on material and tool data. However, they can be adjusted at any time. The blank can also be replaced without having to indicate the processing details again. A new time is simply calculated with reference to the new blank.

Workpiece analysis cannot tell automatically from which position onwards processing must be interrupted because it can only be completed after clamping it in a new position. Therefore, it is possible to divide processing steps and to shift them accordingly in the processing sequence. This way, bilateral processing of the workpiece with clamping in a new position can be calculated.

Different screw thread types special processing methods such as tailstock and steady rest positioning and returning, or knurling, measuring, changing the clamp position, etc. can be indicated, and thereby included in the time calculation.

Time calculation can be started at immediately once the blanks and finished parts are known. The part to be produced is now analysed for roughing, smoothing and penetration operations.

Equipment times and secondary times may take a lot of time based on workpiece. they may also be defined or loaded.

A calculation data sheet where all processing steps and times (the, th, tn, tr) are listed is part of this, just as for milling and drilling.

Finally, the work schedule and bill of materials is used to determine a quoted price with reference to the hourly machine rates and the material costs.
