Cam Lab Experiment - 1: - K Pushpendu Prashant (114 ID 0209) Aim

The document describes a lathe turning experiment in Mastercam X6. The aim was to turn mild steel into a specified profile using a carbide tool. The procedure involved opening Mastercam, drawing the final profile dimensions, setting tool and material properties, generating a roughing toolpath, and saving the G-code file. Figures show the final profile, toolpath, and finished part. The conclusion states that the experiment demonstrates how to obtain G-code for rough turning by drawing and machining a profile in the software.

CAM LAB EXPERIMENT – 1

- K Pushpendu Prashant (114 ID 0209)

AIM :

To perform lathe turning operation

SOFTWARE USED :

Mastercam X6

MATERIAL & TOOL USED :

Mild Steel Material & Carbide Tool

PROCEDURE :

1. Mastercam X6 is opened.
2. The final profile is prepared having dimensions in mm.
3. After completing drawing, in Xform, move to origin is selected.
4. In stock setup, select the left spindle as the final profile is left handed.
5. Then select properties followed by giving dimensions of the profile (diameter (D=30
mm), length (L=40 mm)). By doing so, the initial profile i.e., the raw material will be
shown in dotted lines or it can also be made through selecting the option make
from two points and selecting the two points diagonally.
6. In tool settings, user defined is selected to assign the following values:
A. Spindle speed = 350 rpm
B. Feed rate = 15 mm/sec
C. Retract rate = 10 m/sec
D. Plunge Rate = 10 m/sec
7. Selecting tool path followed by rough and name the file. Select chaining and then
select entrance and exit directions and select the tool for machining the raw
material to get the required profile.
8. Selecting rough parameters and give the following values:
1. Depth of cut = 0.5 mm
2. Minimum cut depth = 0.01 mm
3. Stock to leave in X = 0.2 mm
4. Stock to leave in Z = 0.2 mm
5. Variable depth = 0
9. Selecting backplot, the way the workpiece gets machined can be seen.
10. Format of the file should be saved in .nc and the file is saved.
11. As soon as the file gets saved, G-codes and M-codes will arrive.

CONCLUSION :
We infer from the following experiment that, the code for the rough turning operation can
easily be obtained by drawing the final profile in the software and performing necessary
actions on it.
