Here, you can simply specify the radius of the tool path corner in which the reduced feed is to be applied. In such corners, the angle change of the cutting direction is small and it is difficult to meet the condition from the Maximum Directional Change field. The Reduced Feed Radius parameter allows us to apply a reduced feed value at the corners in which the tool path is rounded. And reduced feed rate value will be taken from the Reduced Feedrate field.

It simply means that at this point the feed rate will be reduced, and the distance from the corner at which the tool will work with reduced feed rate corresponds to the Reduced Feed Distance parameter. Tool path moments before entering such a corner has a different color. Pay attention to the corners in which the feed rate will be reduced. In the corner in which the angle change is 30 degrees, the feed will not be reduced.īut all the time the feed will be reduced in the other corners, in which the change in cutting direction is greater than that entered in the Maximum Directional Change parameter. If the parameter value is changed to 31 degrees. That is, the change in the angle between segments 1 and 2 of the above geometry.Īnd if the Maximum Directional Change parameter is less than 30 degrees, it means that we want to use slower feed in this corner. In the example shown in the figure above, the change in the angle of geometry on which the tool will move is 30 degrees. Depending on how big the change of the angle will be. The first parameter, Maximum Directional Change, is responsible for the selection of geometry corners to slow down the feed. In the corners of the geometry, the tool is more loaded and exposed to faster wear and even damage. This tab allows you to apply smaller feed values at the corners of the geometry, which can be very useful. As for the Passes tab in the 2D Contour processing, we have yet to check the Feed Optimization section.
