4.8 Facing Cycle
By pressing icon on cycle selection screen,
facing cycle data input screen opens
Facing cycle input data
- Xe: X End Coordinate of Face Cut
- Ze: Z End Coordinate of Face Cut
- D-Cut: Cutting Depth (Can be omitted)
- Cutting Start Point X: Teach In
- Cutting Start Point Z: Teach In
To perform a face cutting, position tool by means
of hand wheels or joystick to a suitable cutting
start point and press start button on machine.
Tool executes one face cut in -X direction until Xe
coordinate, detaches and returns back to start
point.
When a cut depth value is inserted, tool
automatically infeeds in –Z direction and executes
next cut. Cycle is executed in automatic mode.
