4.3.5 Operation of Guidance Cutting (Line)
By using a guidance handwheel on a machine operator’s panel, an
operator can carry out the following 2 types of linear cutting in
simultaneous X and Y-axis direction.
• Approach Cutting to an inputted Target Line
• Along Cutting to an inputted Target Line
In order to input a target line, the following data input window is
displayed in a pop-up window, and it can be called by pushing a
[LINE].
X1/Y1/X2/Y2 POS.
: Absolute coordinate of separated 2 points on a
line.
ANGLE
: Angle of line from +X-axis. A positive angle is
clockwise direction from +Y-axis, and minus
angle is counter clockwise direction. If this data
is inputted, only 1 point coordinate data is
necessary among the above 2 points.
After inputting necessary data in the above window, by pushing
[INPEND], an operator can begin guidance cutting.
Besides inputting data for target line, the following distance data are
displayed in a pop-up window. An operator can move the tool while
checking the distance to the target line.
D
: Distance between the current tool position and the
target line.
DX/DY
: Distance between the current tool position and the
target line along X or Y-axis.
