- 99 -
4.1 OUTLINE
The taper cycle is characterized by following properties.
(1) The taper shape is defined by specifying three intersection points
(1 - 3).
(2) On each intersection point is possible to specify a corner radius
or a chamfer.
(3) 2nd and 3rd point can be defined specifying either the absolute
coordinate or the angle.
(4) It is possible to select the cutting direction between -Z, +Z, +X,
-X.
(5) Depending from the value of D-CUT it is possible to machine by
manual in-feeding or automatic in-feeding.
(6) The finishing amount can be specified into cycle data.
(7) The tool number, feedrate, and spindle speed can be specified
into cycle data.
CAUTION
For outer taper the programmed figure shall be
monotonously decreasing.
For outer back taper and inner taper the
programmed figure shall be monotonously
increasing.
