Draw Counter-bore tools

Dan Brow · 2005-01-12 16:25:48

Has anyone dealt with draw counter-bore tools in Vericut? At present I just define a tool that is the c-bore size and plow through the part... pretty crude huh. I'm looking for ideas on how you people have simulated these tools realistically.

Thanks
Dan :oops:

Dan,
are you referring to a back boring bar?

If so, you can describe this tool using an insert instead of an SOL

Thanks for responding.
No, not a boring bar but yes, a tool that back faces. The type of tool I'm refering to may have a swing out wing or the operator may manually install the cutter head after the pilot has passed through the hole.

This thread asks the same question, but unfortunately no answer yet.

To do the back boring with a swing-out bit (or to manually add and remove the back boring head) you'll need to do a tool substitution (tool with just a post and a tool with a bit). we currently do not support dynamic insert-to-holder motion. You'll also need some kind of trigger statement or action to signal the substitution to take place.

Thanks Tom,
I have been thinking about this...
If I inbed (VERICUT-TOOLID ####) into my code in strategic places I may get what I'm after. :idea:
