Free contour programming
Functionality
Free contour programming enables you to create simple and complex contours.
A contour editor (FKE) calculates any missing parameters for you as soon as they can be obtained from other parameters.
You can link together contour elements and transfer to the edited part program.
Contour editor (FKE)
Proceed through the following steps to open the contour editor window:
1.
Select the desired operating area.
2.
Enter the desired program folder.
3.
Select a program file, and press this key to open it in the program editor.
4.
Press this softkey to open the contour editor window.
Initially, you define a contour starting point (see Section "Defining a starting point").
The contour is then programmed step-by-step (see Section "Programming example turning").
