(3) Operation procedure
Refer to ”(3) Operation procedure” of ”Linear movement.”
NOTE 1 If the program expands to more than 50 blocks as a result of repetition, an alarm is issued.
NOTE 2 When a corner R and chamfer are included in a figure to be repeated, they are indicated as an
arc and straight line after repetition is executed, respectively.
NOTE 3 If an approach or escape block is included in the blocks that define a figure to be repeated, an
alarm is issued.
NOTE 4 The block immediately before the blocks that define a figure to be repeated, and the last block
of these blocks defining the figure, must be determined.
NOTE 5 Neither the corner R nor chamfer block can be specified immediately before and after the blocks
that define a figure to be repeated. In addition, neither corner R nor chamfer can be specified
at the beginning or end of the blocks that define a figure to be repeated.
NOTE 6 If the blocks defining a figure to be repeated are followed by an existing block, and the last block
of the blocks defining the figure and the existing block do not form a continuous figure, an alarm
is issued to indicate that intersection cannot be obtained. The blocks generated by repetition
are then overwritten. To prevent this, after selecting the repetition range, always check the end
point of the last block of the blocks that define the figure to be repeated, then press [REPEAT
EXEC].
