Machining
∇ (roughing)

Machining
Machining in the programmed contour direction
direction
Forward:
•
Machining is performed in the programmed contour direction
Backward:
•
Machining is performed in the opposite direction to the programmed contour
Radius
•

•
A programmed contour can also be machined on the center-point path. In this case,
approaching and retraction is only possible along a straight line or vertical. Vertical
approach/retraction can be used for closed contours, for example.
Z0
Reference point Z (abs or inc)
Z1
Final depth (abs) or final depth referred to Z0 (inc) - (only for ∇ and ∇∇∇)
DZ
Maximum depth infeed - (only for ∇ and ∇∇∇)
UZ
Depth finishing allowance - (only for ∇)
FS
Chamfer width for chamfering (inc) - (for chamfering only)
ZFS
Insertion depth of tool tip (abs or inc) - (for chamfering only)
UXY
Plane finishing allowance - (only for ∇ and G code)
Approach
Planar approach mode:
Quadrant:
•
Part of a spiral (only with path milling left and right of the contour)
Semi-circle:
•
Part of a spiral (only with path milling left and right of the contour)
Straight line:
•
Slope in space
Perpendicular:
•
Perpendicular to the path (only with path milling on the center-point path)
Approach strategy
R1
Approach radius - (only for "quadrant or semi-circle" approach)
L1
Approach distance - (only for "straight line" approach)
