-192-
b) In the case of bottom finish cutting
1. Rapid traverse up to the starting point (A).
2. Rapid traverse along the Z axis up to point R (END POINT Z
+ BOTTOM REMOVAL + CLEARANCE)
3. Descent along the lower Z axis in cutting feed (Z-CUT
FEED RATE) up to the point (END POINT Z).
4. Cut into the workpiece in cutting feed following approach
type (CIRCLE, TANGNT or VERTCL)
5. Side cutting with the cutting width (Tool Diameter ×
CUTTING WIDTH) along the contour shape.
6. Move away from the workpiece following escape type
(CIRCLE, TANGNT or VERTCL)
7. Move away up to R point in cutting feed.
8. Rapid traverse up to the next starting point.
9. 3.-8. are repeated up to the point of the distance (SIDE
FINISH
10. Rise in cutting feed along Z axis up to point R.
c) In the case of side finish cutting
1. Rapid traverse up to the starting point (A).
2. Rapid traverse along the Z axis up to point R (END POINT Z
+ BOTTOM REMOVAL + CLEARANCE)
3. Descent along the lower Z axis up to the end point (END
POINT Z) in cutting feed (Z-CUT FEED RATE).
4. Cut into the workpiece in cutting feed following approach
type (CIRCLE, TANGNT or VERTCL)
5. Side cutting with the cutting width of the pitch (SIDE
FINISH) along the contour shape.
6. Move away from the workpiece following escape type
(CIRCLE, TANGNT or VERTCL)
7. Rise in cutting feed along Z axis up to point R.
NOTE
The alarm may occur owing to the restriction of
contour figure number or work memory size for
calculation. In this case, please divide the contour
figure into some group.
