The TAC-LAG command controls Taper Angle Control (TAC) and forward tilt LAG features for 5-axis cutting machines to achieve perpendicular cuts and improved corner handling.
🔹 How to Use
- Activate command: Select TAC-LAG from CAM toolbar
- Choose operation: Click "On" to enable or "Off" to disable TAC-LAG
- Select geometry: Choose specific geometry that should use TAC-LAG features
- Apply settings: Selected geometry is marked for TAC-LAG processing
- Optimize usage: Only apply to geometry requiring perpendicular cuts
🧠Tips
- 5-axis requirement: Only useful for machines with 5-axis cutting capabilities
- Performance impact: Can increase cutting time by 20-40% when enabled
- Selective application: Apply only to geometry requiring straight, perpendicular cuts
- Default settings: Machine settings control whether TAC-LAG is default On or Off
- Kinematics requirements: Best with fixed tool center point systems where nozzle tilts without moving position
- Strategic use: Balance cutting quality needs against increased cutting time
