PROGRAMS

JAREA A: Select the desired type of the AREA from the following
items.
Those are displayed on the window.
1 = OUTER END
2 = OUTER MID
3 = INNER END
4 = INNER MID
5 = FACE END
6 = FACE MID
See Section 1.1 “Bar Machining” for details about machining areas.
However, automatic residual machining cannot be performed with pattern
repeating.
NOTE
When a machining area is specified, the tools for rough
machining and cutting conditions are determined automat-
ically.
(1) Roughing process
REMOVAL X: Cutting allowance (diameter) along the X–axis
Z: Cutting allowance along the Z–axis
All data items displayed on the program screen and detail data
screen, with the exception of the item above, are the same as those
displayed for bar machining.
(2) Finishing process
All data items displayed on the program screen and detail data screen
are the same as those displayed for bar machining.
For pattern repeating, specify a final contour as figure data by performing
a contour calculation in the same way as for bar machining.
When specifying figure data for pattern repeating, a cutting direction can
be entered for each contour block. For details of the direction of cutting,
see Section 1.2.5.
CUT–DIRECTION D: Cutting direction.
Choose from [NORMAL] and [REVERS].
See Section 1.1 for additional information about contour specification.
NOTE
Unlike bar machining, pattern repeating performs neither
automatic cutting path compensation, based on the tool
angle, nor automatic residual machining. This means that
only figure data that does not result in the tool fouling the
workpiece outline can be entered for pattern repeating.
