11.1.5 Profile intersection
In order to facilitate the programming of profiles, the canned cycle allows the profiles to intersect
one another and the external profile.
The two available types of intersection can be selected by parameter "K"
Basic profile intersection (K=0)
When selecting this type, the following profile intersecting rules are to be followed:
• The intersection of islands generates a new inside profile which is their Boolean union.
• The intersection between an internal and an external profile generates a new external profile
as a result of the difference between the external and the internal profiles.
• If there is an inside profile which has an intersection with another inside profile and with the
external profile, the canned cycle first makes the intersection between the inside profiles and
then the intersection of these with the external profile.
• As a result of the intersection of the inside profiles with the outside one, a single pocket will be
obtained which corresponds to the outside profile having the largest surface. The rest will be
ignored.
• If the finishing operation has been programmed, the profile of the resulting pocket must comply
with all the tool compensation rules, since if a profile is programmed which cannot be machined
by the programmed finishing tool, the CNC will show the corresponding error.
