The function entries are as follows：

  • At the entrance of Software Main Interface

    In the common toolbar of Software Main Interface, click Tube Intersection / Tube Cutting / Tube Cutting Setting.

  • At the entrance of the 2D Edit page

    In the menu bar of the 2D Edit page, click Common → → Tube Intersection / Tube Cutting / Tube Partition / Tube Cutting Setting / Part Mark.

Tube Intersection

Generate intersecting hole tool path on tube, including circular hole and rectangular hole.

This section takes the intersection of circular tube as an example.

Operating Steps：

  1. Select any of the following methods to open the Pipe Intersection dialog box：

    • In the common toolbar of Software Main Interface, click Tube Intersection.
    • In the menu bar of the 2D Edit page, click Common → → Tube Intersection.

  2. Select hole type and set hole param：

    Parameter Description
    Circular Type of cut hole.
    Rect Type of cut hole.
    Primary dia The diameter of the main tube, that is, the diameter of the tube to be cut.
    ▪ When the cutting type is selected as Single or Pair, it cannot be set. The fixed value is the tube diameter.
    ▪ It can be set when the cutting type is selected as Auxiliary.
    Auxiliary dia The diameter of the branch tube, that is, the diameter of the tube that needs to run through the main tube. The setting shall meet the following requirements: branch tube diameter ≤ main tube diameter.
    ▪ It can be set when the cutting type is Single or Pair.
    ▪ When the cutting type is selected as Auxiliary, it cannot be set. The fixed value is the tube diameter.
    Eccentricity The distance between the main tube centerline and the branch pipe centerline. The maximum value should be ± (Main Tube Diameter - Branch Tube Diameter)/2.
    Angle The inclination angle when the main tube intersects the branch tube. Setting range: 5 º~175 º.

  3. In the Primary or Auxiliary area, set the following parameters：

    Parameter Description
    Hole type You can select to generate Single, Pair or Auxiliary circular holes.
    Rotary The rotation angle of the cutting graphic relative to the workpiece origin.
    Feeding axis The feed axis distance of the cutting graphic relative to the workpiece origin.

  4. Click Confirm.

  • Single

  • Pair

  • Auxiliary

Tube Cutting

Generate a cutoff path on the tube.

This section takes rectangular tube cutting as an example.

Operating Steps：

  1. Select any of the following methods to open the Rectangular-cutting dialog box：

    • In the common toolbar of Software Main Interface, click Tube Cutting.
    • In the menu bar of the 2D Edit page, click Common → → Tube Cutting.

  2. Set parameters for angle and feeding axis：

    Parameter Description
    Angle The angle between the cutting surface and the tube centerline. Setting range: 5 º~175 º.
    Feeding Feed axis coordinates of the cutting position on the tube.

  3. Click Confirm.

Tube Partition

Generate intersecting and cutting array tool paths on tubes.

Operating Steps：

  1. In the menu bar of the 2D Edit page, click Common → → Tube Partition to open the Tube Partition dialog box：

  1. In the Tube Basic Param area, set the following parameters：
Parameter Description
Tube length Set the length of the tube.
Part num The number of parts set on the tube.
Hole num Number of holes per part.
Part margin The distance reserved between parts.
Note

Clear range： After setting the Tube Partition parameter, you need to ensure that the clear range is less than 0.

  1. In the Intersection Param area, set the following parameters：

    Parameter Description
    Hole type Select Circle or Rect.
    Auxiliary dia Circle parameter, the diameter of the branch tube, that is, the diameter of the tube that needs to run through the tube.
    Length Rect parameter, the length of the rectangular hole.
    Width Rect parameter, the width of the rectangular hole.
    Distance The distance between the tube centerline and the branch centerline.
    Type Optional when the cutting type is Circle. You can select to generate Single or Pair circular holes.
    Angle The inclination angle when the tube intersects the branch tube.
    Rev axis The rotation angle of the cutting graphic relative to the workpiece origin.

  2. Check the following options in the Truncation Setting area as required：

    • Lowest truncation line
    • Highest truncation line

  3. Check Delete All Objects Firstly as required.

  4. Click Confirm.

Tube Cutting Setting

Set the type and size of the machining tube in the software according to the actual situation.

This section takes rectangular tubes as an example.

Operating Steps：

  1. Select any of the following methods to open the Tube Cutting Setting dialog box：

    • In the common toolbar of Software Main Interface, click Tube Cutting Setting.
    • In the menu bar of the 2D Edit page, click Common → → Tube Cutting Setting.

  2. Modify the tube length.

  3. Click Confirm.

Part Mark

Modify the part name.

Operating Steps：

  1. In the menu bar of the 2D Edit page, click Common → to check Show Part Mark.

  2. Click → Part Mark to open the Part Mark dialog box：

  3. Set the part name.

  4. Click Confirm, and the mouse becomes to .

  5. Click the line marked with the part to change the corresponding part name.

  6. Click the right mouse button to exit the function.
