NOTE
Similar to line cutting, the Nose-R compensation is
done automatically, and the nose radius value of
inputted tool number in a process data window is
used for it.
So, the above distance data display the distance
between 2 imaginary nose point of the current tool
position and the position of that a nose circle is
touched to the target line.
After inputting necessary data in the above window, by pushing
[INPUT END], an operator can begin guidance cutting. By switching
the guidance handwheel mode on a machine operator’s panel, an
operator can select one of Approaching Cutting or Along Cutting.
(1) Approach Cutting
By switching the guidance handwheel mode on a machine operator’s
panel, an operator can select an Approaching Cutting mode.
In an approach cutting mode, a tool moves along a line connecting the
center of the tool nose and the center of the target circle according as
an operator rotates a guidance handwheel.
During approach cutting mode, the following guidance is displayed in
a pop-up window.
In the guidance displayed in a pop-up window, pink and green arrows
indicate the direction in which the tool is moved. The direction in
which the handwheel is rotated determines the direction of approach.
At the end of hollow arrow, the handwheel and the direction of its
rotation are displayed.
The feedrate of the tool motion depends on the speed at which the
guidance handwheel is rotated.
(2) Along Cutting
By switching the guidance handwheel mode on a machine operator’s
panel, an operator can select an Along Cutting mode.
In an along cutting mode, a tool moves along a circle having the same
center as the target line according as an operator rotates a guidance
handwheel.
During along cutting mode, similar to the former approach cutting
mode, the guidance for handwheel rotation is displayed in a pop-up
window.
