Capabilities of a Round Insert

The Groove holder is a type of Insert holder, mainly utilised in Grooving operations. There are three types of Groove Holders:

  • External Holder
  • Internal Holder
  • Frontal Holder

For a given Grooving operation there are four orientations in which the material removal is performed. They are External, Internal, Frontal and other.

The parameter that is to be defined is the Radius of the Insert. ( 1) r=5mm)

  • External Grooving Operation: The tool path of a External Groove holder with a round insert for a Grooving operation.

  • Internal Grooving Operation: The tool path of a Internal Groove holder with a round insert for a Grooving operation.

  • Frontal Grooving Operation: The tool path of a Frontal Groove holder with a round insert for a Grooving operation.

The output generation and all simulations including material removal, Time based with and without the machine is available for the round insert with the Groove holder.
