Description
Insertion
The following insertion modes can be selected – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇ edge):
● Vertical
The calculated actual infeed depth is machined at the calculated position.
Note:
This setting can be used only if the cutter can cut across center or if the pocket has
been predrilled.
● Helical
The cutter center point traverses along the helical path determined by the radius and
depth per revolution (helical path). If the depth for one infeed has been reached, a
full circle motion is executed to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
● Oscillation
The cutter center point oscillates back and forth along a linear path until it reaches
the depth infeed. When the depth has been reached, the path is traversed again
without depth infeed in order to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
