1.5 CONTOUR PROGRAMMING
MANUAL GUIDE 0i also offers “contour programming,” by which
the user can enter contour figures consisting of lines and circles. This
“contour programming” involves high-performance contour
calculation such as 10 blocks pending and auxiliary calculation with
11 patterns.
In “contour programming,” an operator can enter contour figures
consisting of lines and circles and easily create a tool motion NC
program of G01/G02/G03 that traces the contour figure.
Only tool motion commands are supported; other commands such as
auxiliary functions must be entered manually in some other way.
While entering a contour figure, auxiliary calculation (other than
cross point calculation) can be used to obtain the end point coordinate
values of a figure.
NOTE
In Contour Programming, up to 40 figures can be
entered.
