a) In the case of rough cutting
1. Rapid traverse up to the starting point (A).
2. Rapid traverse along the Z axis up to the point equal to (END
POINT Z + REMOVAL DEPTH – REMOVAL PITCH)
3. Cutting feed to the opposite side (B) of the starting point.
4. Rise along the Z axis in rapid traverse by an amount of
(CLEARANCE + REMOVAL PITCH).
5. Rapid traverse along the X-Y axis up to the next starting
point (C).
6. Descent along the Z axis in rapid traverse by an amount of
(CLEARANCE + REMOVAL PITCH).
7. 3.- 6. is repeated up to the ending point (D).
8. Rise along the Z axis in rapid traverse by an amount of
(CLEARANCE + REMOVAL PITCH).
9. Repeat steps 1. to 8. advancing in the –Z direction, pitch by
pitch, up to the point (END POINT Z + FINISHING ALW.).
10. Rise along the Z axis up to the point (END POINT Z +
CLEARANCE).
b) In the case of finish cutting
1. Rapid traverse up to the starting point (A).
2. Rapid traverse along the Z axis up to the point equal to END
POINT Z.
