5.3 ARBITRARY FIGURES FOR THE POLAR COORDINATE
INTERPOLATION PLANE (XC PLANE)
The following types of milling can be specified also for the polar
coordinate interpolation plane (XC plane), and arbitrary figures in the
XC plane can be used in these milling types.
1. Facing
2. Contouring (Side cutting)
3. Pocketing
4. Grooving
5. Emboss machining
NOTE
1 See Chapter 1, "Milling," in Part III for detailed
descriptions about data to be entered for each type
of cycle machining.
2 X coordinate values specified for the XC plane
must also be diameters.
Start point: G1500 (XC plane)
