1.4.2.4 Figure block of Stock removal in turning and Finishing
NOTE
1 There are two ways of entering the figure block for stock
removal cycles.
The first involves using the contour programming described
in chapter 1.5. By using this method, you can enter free-form
figures that are created using lines and arcs by using the full
functionality of contour calculations. By pressing
[CONTUR], you can enter contour programming mode on
the figure block G-code menu screen.
The second method involves entering a figure block directly
by selecting a figure block G-code. In this case, you must
enter the end point coordinate and other necessary values
for each figure block. You cannot use contour calculation.
2 The figure blocks used for a machining block can be
replaced by a sub program. In this case, you must enter a
sub program in which only a series of figure blocks are
included, as well as a return block (M99). Instead of entering
a series of figure blocks, M98 Pxxxx (sub-program number)
can be used.
When using contour programming, this sub program and
sub program calling block can be created automatically.
For details, refer to section1.5.

at the end of figure blocks that were entered just after machining type
block.
