Question

Add additional fields for the tool type “Reaming”

We would like to have three additional fields added in Creo NC for the tool type “Reaming”: “tip angle”, “tip offset”, and “tip diameter”.

 

"Picture 1 Reaming"

 

Our colleagues in programming would like to control the depth during programming—similar to “Drilling” and “Thread Cutting”—using these additional fields.

This would be a considerable relief during programming, as the chamfer/lead-in of the reamer would no longer need to be added to the depth manually.

 

Example for Drilling:

"Picture 2 Drilling"

 

Example for Thread Cutting:

"Picture 3 Thread cutting"
