Multi-Axis: Allows multi-axis motion to adjust for singularities.Milling tools advance through the material so that the cutting flutes engage the material at maximum thickness and then decrease to zero.Setup Sheet: Defines the default setup sheet post processor to use with the machine configuration.Post Processor: Defines the home position for the machine configuration as well as the number of work offsets and the default post processor for the machine configuration.Coolant: Defines the default coolant type (flood, mist, air, etc.) for the machine configuration.

Machining Time: Defines the feedrate ratio and tool change times for the machine configuration.This includes minimum and maximum positions, axis resolutions, and maximum feedrates. Kinematics: The kinematics for each machine axes are defined here.Workpiece: The maximum stock/part dimensions are defined in the fields within this tab.Capabilities: The type of machine (milling, turning, cutting), tool changer automation, and maximum feedrates are specified in this tab.Dimensions: The overall dimensions of the CNC machine tool are defined here.Description: The description fields allow for the model, vendor, and CNC controller for the machine configuration to be specified.


The fields required to create a machine configuration are briefly summarized below: When creating a new machine configuration, it is recommended to use the machine/controller manual for the desired hardware to fill in information for the machine configuration.

Create a CAM setup and select a generic machine.Solution:Note: Autodesk does not currently provide machine configuration files for any machines that are not included in the generic list.
