2.3 TOOL CUTTING MOTIONS
In this section will be explained in detail tool cutting motions of Outer
Corner Cycle. The tool cutting motion of the others Corner Cycles can
be deducted for symmetry.
2.3.1 Rough Cutting Motions
The tool cutting motions are primarly influenced by following
characteristics:
• Tool position at the time Cycle Start is pressed;
• Cutting direction (DIR);
• Depth of cut (D-CUT);
• Roughing, Finishing operation (R+F);
The space around the workpiece is divided in 7 areas named [A], [C],
[E], [F], [G], [H], [I].
The tool position at the time Cycle Start is pressed can be somewhere
into the area [E] only if D-CUT=0.
The tool cannot be positioned into the area [A].
