A CNC Turning Process Simulation for a Polygonal Shaft Using CAM ESPRIT Software

Abstract

Machining process simulation is a method to increase machining quality and efficiency. The right cutting tool geometry and parameters are chosen during the machining simulation process to create a variety of precision component shapes. A machining simulation for the production of polygonal shafts is presented in this paper. The quality of the parabolic shaft during manufacture will be directly impacted by the machining process, which is simulated using the proper tools and appropriate machining parameters. CAM ESPRIT TNG (x64) software is used in the simulation to simulate the turning and milling process. The machining process can be made more efficient because the simulation process demonstrates that every step of the process operates as intended.
