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
Left (machining to the left of the contour)
•
compensation
Right (machining to the right of the contour)
•
off
•
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.
Slot side
Slot side compensation on or off (only for machining surface, peripheral surface C)
compensation
(only ShopTurn)
D
Offset to programmed path
- (only for slot side compensation on)
CP
Positioning angle for machining area
- (only for ShopTurn, machining surface, face Y)
