Maximum blank dimensions

Prerequisites

The following indications are valid under the conditions shown below:

  • Using a standard 12 mm thick pallet [Micro5 roughing pallet]

  • Use of a 22.5 mm shrink fit tool with a 7 mm tool height

Using a different type of setting or a tool which is mounted or set differently will impact the maximum dimensions of the blank.

The machining mode (3 or 5 axes) also affects the maximum dimensions of the blank.

Max blank in 3 axes

  • Surfacing

    • Without rotation C
      80x56x50mm (red 
      volume)

    • With rotation C
      Ø80x50mm (blue 
      volume)

  • Contouring

    • Subtract the tool diameter from the X and Y dimensions of the 3-axis surfacing.

Max blank in 5 axes

  • Surfacing

    • Ø80x46mm

  • Contouring 

    • Subtract the tool diameter from the X and Y dimensions of the 5-axis surfacing and subtract the tool radius from the Z height.

Other points to consider

  • The cutting length of the tool and the size of the tool holder limit the depth that can be reached, depending on the geometry of the part.

  • The specific clamping methods (collets with plates, vises, etc.) or active clamping (over-under fixtures, Ottet collets, etc.) impose their own constraints on the nominal dimensions of the blank part.
