    Default Broaching Program @ angle for mutilple keyways

    I am looking for a program for broaching multiple keyways and different angles in a part that is chucked up in a VMC. I am looking for something simple like a Macro to change the angles, DOC and bore diameter.

    hello / here, at post 28, is a soubroutine for lathe : http://www.cnczone.com/forums/okuma/309768-cnc.html

    you may use it as a reference, adapt it for the mill

    i am sorry, that is the only thing i have ... besides an updated version inside my pc, but overall it is pretty similar

    once you got used with it, it is prety fast editable, but the problem is the duration required to get used with it ... and matrix reloaded is just a movie, so you cant download all the infos into your head



    even if you could convert it, you will hit the problem of mill spindle rigidity and keeping the same angle between grooves : spindle does not have a true C axis

    somekind of a compromise would be to use a rotary table + a spindle attachement kindly !




    ps : try the g-code forum : http://www.cnczone.com/forums/g-code-programing/

    maybe you will find someone with a program that requires less time to convert

    Look into it very carefully....

    Milling machines use expensive bearings in the higher speed spindles ( ceramic balls )
    - plus the broaching operation could force indentations into the bearing races on heaver cuts ( even on lower RPM machines )

    repairs can run up to $40-50K & be out-of-service for a while.... say 2-3 weeks
