(3) Specifying of bar machining process data
The process data and contour of bar machining can be entered in the
same way as ordinary input.
The contour, however, must be inside the material figure entered at
initial setting.
Example of a contour for bar machining (outer surface + automatic
residual machining)

The contour goes out of the material figure
NOTE
To reduce input errors, enter the material figure and bar
machining contour in the following sequence instead of
entering first the material figure, then the contour.
1. To create a machining program, enter a rough figure such
as a rectangle as a formed material.
2. Enter the bar machining contour like ordinary operation.
3. Re–display the material figure data screen for initial
setting.
4. Pressing the [PLOT] soft key draws the material figure and
bar machining contour which are overlapped on each
other. This display is called product figure drawing screen.
Enter the material figure data while checking both the
material figure and contour.
