ICP contours
The interactive contour programming ( ICP ) feature provides graphic
support when you are defining the workpiece contours. ( ICP is the
abbreviation of I nteractive C ontour P rogramming.)
Contours created with ICP are used in the following:
In the ICP cycles (
Teach-in
submode,
Machine
mode of
operation)
In
smart.Turn mode of operation
Each contour begins with a starting point. The following contours
are defined using linear and circular contour elements as well as
form elements like chamfers, rounding radii, and undercuts.
ICP is called from the smart.Turn mode of operation and the cycle
dialogs.
ICP contours
created in Teach-in mode are saved by the control in
independent files. You can enter file names (contour names) with
up to 40 characters. The ICP contours are integrated in ICP cycles.
The following contour types are possible:
Turning contours:
*.gmi
Contours of workpiece blanks: *.gmr
Milling contours on face: *.gms
Milling contours on lateral surface: *.gmm
The control integrates ICP contours created in smart.Turn mode of
operation into the respective NC program. Contour descriptions are
saved as
G
codes.
In Teach-in mode, ICP contours created are managed
in independent files. These contours can only be
edited with
ICP
.
In smart.Turn mode of operation, contours are part
of the NC program. They can be machined with the
ICP editor or
smart.Turn editor.
In the
convertICP
(602023) machine parameter, you
define whether the control loads the programmed or
calculated values into the NC program.
