Continuous machining
When you program a continuous contour of lines and/or arcs the
contour will cut without stopping if there is no programmed stop.
The control will automatically recognize continuous contours as
you're programming. There are no special key presses or other
functions to learn.
For lines and arcs to be continuous, they must:
Be consecutive steps in a program
Be cut with the same tool
Be cut using the same tool offset
Share a common “From” or “To” point (one step must end at
the point where the next one begins)
If one step follows another, then the control assumes that they
are to be connected (see steps 002 through 009). The single line
bracket indicates the steps that will be machined with continuity.
The control automatically fills in the From point, Depth, and Tool
Offset from the previous step. The To point must be filled in, and
then press the
USE
key.
Different feed rates within each step of a continuous
contour are allowed, and can be used.
Restore position
When a program is paused during machining, the
Move Tool
soft
key is available to move the tool away from the part. This makes
it possible to inspect the part or tool before continuing with the
program.
If the tool is moved while the program is paused, it must be
restored to the previous location before the program can continue
running. The system will automatically restore the tool to this
location when the
GO
key is pressed.
If the tool was moved away from the part, soft keys
1
will indicate
which axes need to be restored.
If both axes have been moved, the soft keys will indicate that both
axes will be restored when the
GO
key is pressed. If the axes need
to be restored in a specific order, ensure that only the axis which is
safe to move is selected. Pressing the soft key will toggle whether
or not that axis will be restored. Only the enabled axis(es) will be
restored when the
GO
key is pressed.
The
GO
key will only continue running the program after both axes
have been restored.
If both axis soft keys are pressed, both axes will be
restored sequentially in the configured order.
