• Tool path
<1> The tool moves to the position "cut-in start point + clearance (L,
M)" by rapid traverse.
<2> After cutting in in the X-axis direction at the feedrate (F)
specified for the cutting direction, the tool cuts in to the
entered-figure position where there is still a finishing allowance
in the Z-axis direction at the feedrate (E) specified for the cut-in
direction.
<3> If [SPEED] is selected, the tool immediately retracts by a return
clearance (U) in the X- and Z-axis direction. If [CUT] is selected,
the tool first cuts along the figure and then retracts by a return
clearance (U) in the X- and Z-axis direction.
<4> The tool moves to the cut-in start position in the Z-axis direction
by rapid traverse.
<5> Steps <2> to <4> are repeated until the lowest portion in the
X-axis direction is reached.
<6> If there is another pocket, the tool is positioned on the pocket,
and steps <2> to <4> are repeated.
<7> Once all portions are cut, the tool retracts to the position "cut-in
start position + clearance (L)" in the X-axis direction at the rapid
traverse rate.
NOTE
It is possible to specify "PART" and "BLANK" as
"ELEMENT TYPE" for an individual arbitrary figure.
This "BLANK" can be used to enter an arbitrary
figure resembling a blank figure to be actually
machined, so any portion other than the blank
portion will not be cut. This way, optimum rough
turning can be realized.
