Contour direction (cycle programming)
The cutting direction during cycle programming depends on the
direction of the contour. If the contour is described in the –Z
direction, a tool with the orientation 1 must be used for longitudinal
machining. The cycle used determines whether machining is
transverse or longitudinal.
Further information:
"General tool parameters", Page 576
If the contour is described in the –X direction, a transverse
machining cycle or a tool with the orientation 3 must be used.
ICP cut, longitudinal/transverse (roughing) : The control
machines the workpiece in the contour direction.
ICP finishing, longitudinal/transverse : The control finishes in
the contour direction.
An ICP contour which was defined for a roughing
operation with the ICP cut longitudinal cycle cannot be
used for machining with the ICP cut transverse cycle.
