Part workpiece clamping settings

Part workpiece clamping settings are available in the tab Clamping Icon

 

Clamping of a part in a machine depends on numerous factors, original settings and restrictions. By changing the original settings, the user can affect the rating of clamping options performed by CAM solver.

 

There are two tabs used to configure clamping settings:

Important. CAM solver will always give priority to clamping options offering fewer processing operations avoiding operations where the external workpiece loop can be trespassed. This is to ensure that, once flipped over, the part has base surfaces and does not require procedures with special clamping. The reverse order applies to CNC Nesting machines. Here, priority is given to clamping options with the highest number of processing operations, including the processing of the external loop.
