5.9 Contour elements on face
5.9 Contour elements on face
With the "contour elements of a face" you can create complex milling
contours.
 Cycle mode: Contour for axial ICP milling cycles
 smart.Turn: Contour for machining with the C axis
Enter the dimensions of the front face contour elements in Cartesian
or polar values. You can switch between them by pressing a soft key
(see table). You can mix Cartesian coordinates and polar coordinates
to define a point.
Starting point of face contour
Enter the coordinates for the starting point and target point in the first
contour element of the contour. Entering the starting point is only
possible in the first contour element. In subsequent contour elements,
the starting point results from the previous contour element in each
case.
Press the Contour menu key.
Press the Insert element soft key.
Specify the starting point.
Soft keys for polar coordinates
Switches the field to entering the
angle C.
Switches the field to entering the
radius P.
Parameters for defining the starting point
XKS, YKS Starting point of contour
C Polar starting point of contour (angle)
P Polar starting point of contour (radius)
