3.7.1 DATA DEFINITION
Coordinates of the starting point
The coordinates are defined one by one. After placing the cursor over the axis coordinates to be defined,
one can:
a) Enter the value by hand. Key in the desired value and press
b) Assign the current axis position.
Jog the axis to the desired point with the handwheel or the JOG keys. The upper right-hand window
shows the tool position at all times.
Press for the selected data to assume the value appearing in the upper right-hand window.
Press
Rectangular Pocket: Dimensions and inclination angle
They are defined one by one. Place the cursor in the corresponding window, key in the desired value
and press
Type of corner
To select the type of corner, place the cursor over this icon and press
If, due to the dimensions of the pocket, the specified rounding or chamfer is not possible, the CNC will
make a chamfer or rounding with the largest possible value.
Circular pocket: Center coordinates and radii
They are defined one by one.
The center coordinates (Xc, Yc), are defined like the starting and end point.
To define the radii (R, Ri, Re), place the cursor in the corresponding window, key in the desired value
and press
Machining conditions in Z (Zs, Z, P, I, Fz)
They are defined one by one.
The Zs and Z values are defined like the starting and end point.
To define the rest of the values (P, I, Fz), place the cursor in the corresponding window, key in the
desired value and press
If the penetration step is programmed with a positive sign (I+), the cycle recalculates the step so allthe
penetrations are the same with a value equal to or smaller than the one programmed.
If it is programmed with a negative sign (I-), the cycle machines with the given step except on the last
one where it machines the rest.
