hyperMILL 2021.1 5-axis Radial Machining

The new 5-axis Radial Machining cycle is best suited for bottle molds or similar cavities.
It supports ball and lollipop endmills.
The cycle needs a Center line and a Radial reference line to be defined.
The Center line will define the projection axis.

The Radial reference line defines the main direction of the projection.
There are several infeed strategies available.
The start and end angles will determine the machining area.
The Maximum radius defines the maximum projection distance.
On the 5-axis tab, the axial and radial inclinations can be defined.
A vector preview indicates how the tool will interpolate from start to finish
This also applies for the radial interpolation.
On the Boundary tab, the definition of stop and avoid surfaces is available.
The high precision surface mode is available for excellent surface quality.
While using boundaries to machine the part in various steps, the smooth overlap function becomes available.
Use the Smooth Overlap function to greatly improve the surface quality of transitional areas.
Infeed strategy:
Axial inclination:
Radial inclination:
