Ramping on VTC-20B with 640 Fusion??

[pjr170]

Hi guys,

I need to know how to do ramping on the 640. Is it even possible?? Kind of a noob at mazatrol! Most of the tools at the current shop are all insert mills, currently getting by with centercutting 3/4" and tornado pre slot holes.

any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

It cannot be done in the Fusion control except for in G code. The Matrix controls have ramping for slots and pockets only. What I have always done is write a small ramping unit in Manual Program to make a clearance for the endmill. Or do a tornado circle mill at the approach point.
