When the cursor is moved to the end of program, a new process is
automatically created, and the machining type menu is displayed in the
soft key field.
To select C–axis side–face grooving, press the [C–GROV] soft key, then
the [CROSS] soft key.
NOTE
When data other than 0 is specified for BEVEL–AM, the
following chamfering process is automatically created.
The same process data as for C–axis grooving for end faces applies to
C–axis grooving for side faces, except a machining start point as
described below.
FEED.Z,C : Feedrate for cutting in the direction (Z–axis or
C–axis) lateral to the side–face end mill (mm/min. or
inch/min.)
FEED.X : Feedrate for cutting in the axial direction (X–axis) of
the side–face end mill (mm/min. or inch/min.)
JSTAT–PX : X coordinate of the retraction position between
sections to be grooved
