4. GUIDANCE CUTTING OPERATIONS
-73-
NOTE
At guidance cutting, the tool radius value is used for
the tool offset data of inputted T code number in a
common data window.
1) Approach Cutting
By switching the guidance handwheel mode on a machine
operator’s panel, an operator can select an Approaching Cutting
mode.
In an approach cutting mode, a tool moves along a line
perpendicular to the target line according as an operator rotates a
guidance handwheel.
During approach cutting mode, the following guidance is
displayed in a pop-up window.
In the guidance displayed in a pop-up window, pink and green
arrows indicate the direction in which the tool is moved. The
direction in which the handwheel is rotated determines the
direction of approach. At the end of hollow arrow, the handwheel
and the direction of its rotation are displayed.
The feedrate of the tool motion depends on the speed at which the
guidance handwheel is rotated.
2) Along Cutting
By switching the guidance handwheel mode on a machine
operator’s panel, an operator can select an Along Cutting mode.
In an along cutting mode, a tool moves along a line parallel to the
target line according as an operator rotates a guidance handwheel.
During along cutting mode, similar to the former approach cutting
mode, the guidance for handwheel rotation is displayed in a pop-
up window.
In the guidance, blue arrows indicate the direction of along cutting.
The direction in which the handwheel is rotated determines the
direction of along cutting. At the end of solid arrow, the
handwheel and the direction of its rotation are displayed.
The feedrate of the tool motion depends on the speed at which the
guidance handwheel is rotated.
