4.7 ENTERING CONTOUR PROGRAMS
It is possible to enter arbitrary figures consisting of circles and straight
lines (contour programs), which are different from cycle machining.
Pressing [G-CONT] displays the same window as for the arbitrary
figure data described earlier. After performing the same operations to
enter figures, write them to the last machining program.
In this case, a G01/G02/G03 program in ISO code format is created.
NOTE
See Chapter 5, "Detailed Descriptions about
Entering Arbitrary Figures," for descriptions about
data entered for contour programs.
(1) Entering insertion character strings
Any character string can be entered to all figure blocks entered
for a contour program.
The "INS. STRIN" tab is added to the entry window for each
figure block of the contour program.
Insertion character string
Data item Meaning
F* LAST STRING Character string (consisting of up to 16 characters)
entered at the beginning (immediately after an
EOB) of each figure block
B* NEXT STRING Character string (consisting of up to 16 characters
entered) at the end (immediately before an EOB) of
each figure block
Using "INSERT STRING" can enter G codes and feedrates into figure
blocks.
NOTE
"INSERT STRING" can enter neither a comment
based on a ( ) pair nor an EOB.
(2) Editing figure blocks in contour programs
A figure block entered to a contour program can be edited by
performing figure calculation in the same manner as when it was
entered.
