3.3.1 DATA DEFINITION
Coordinates of the starting and end points
These coordinates are defined one at a time. Once the cursor is over the coordinates of the axis to be
defined, one can:
a) Enter the value by hand. Key in the desired value and press
b) Assign the current position of the machine.
Jog the axis, with the handwheel or the JOG keys up to the desired point. 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
Intermediate points (Level 1)
The intermediate points are defined one at a time. At each point, one must define:
The X, Y coordinates are defined one at a time like those for the starting end points.
The type of corner
To select the type of corner, place the cursor over the icon and press
When not using all 12 definition points, the first unused point must be defined with the same coordinates
as those of the last point of the profile.
Machining conditions in Z (Zs, Z, P, I, Fz)
The machining conditions are defined one by one.
The Zs and Z values are defined like the coordinates of the starting and end points.
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.
Milling with or without tool radius compensation
Without tool radius compensation
With left-hand tool radius compensation
With right-hand tool radius compensation
To select the type of tool compensation, place the cursor over the icon and press
