3. Contour end
When the [CONTOUR END] soft key is pressed on the figure selection screen, the data for the created
contour figure is stored in the program memory.
This allows a series of contour figures to be specified.
CAUTION When entering a contour figure, be sure to check that the figure is a correct one that can be
machined with the selected machining type and the tool used. If the entered figure is not a cor-
rect one, the tool may collide with the workpiece and/or machine, possibly causing damage to
the tool and/or machine, or even injury to the user or bystanders.
CAUTION When entering a contour figure, you can view the entered figure as a graphic figure. Be sure
to check that the coordinates and the numeric values of the arc radius data displayed for each
figure are correct. Check, in particular, the data that has been automatically calculated by con-
versational functions. If the data is not correct, the correct product cannot be machined.
