Contour description for protection zone
The contour of a protection zone is described with traversing motions. These are not executed
and have no connection to previous or subsequent geometry descriptions. They only define
the protection zone.
The contour of a protection zones is specified with up to eleven traversing movements in the
selected working plane. The first traversing movement is the movement to the contour. The
last point in the contour description must always coincide with the first point of the contour
description. In the case of rotationsymmetrical contours (e.g. spindle chuck), the whole contour
must be described (not merely the contour to the turning center).
The valid protection zone is the zone left of the contour:
● Internal protection zone
The contour of an internal protection zone must described in the counterclockwise direction.
● External protection zones (permitted only for workpiece-related protection zones)
The contour of an external protection zone must be described in the clockwise direction.
Figure 3-11
Toolrelated protection zones must be convex. If a concave protection zone is required, the
protection zone must be divided up into several convex protection zones.
