5.4 ARBITRARY FIGURES FOR THE CYLINDRICAL
SURFACE (ZC PLANE)
The following types of milling can be specified also for the cylindrical
surface (ZC plane), and arbitrary figures in the ZC plane can be used
in these milling types.
1. Facing
2. Contouring (Side cutting)
3. Pocketing
4. Grooving
5. Emboss machining
NOTE
See Chapter 1, "Milling," in Part III for detailed
descriptions about data to be entered for each type
of cycle machining.
Start point: G1600 (ZC plane)
ELEMENT (INPUT DATA) (Note 1)
Data item Meaning
T FIGURE ATTRIBUTE
(Note 2)
[FACE] : Used as a figure in facing
[CONVEX] : Used as an outer-perimeter figure in
contouring
[CONCAV] : Used as an inner-perimeter figure in
contouring and emboss machining or a
figure in pocketing
[GROOVE] : Used as a figure in grooving
Remarks) Be sure to select [FACE] if facing is
selected.
Z START POINT Z Z coordinate of the start point of an arbitrary figure
C START POINT C C coordinate of the start point of an arbitrary figure
X BASE POSITION Position of the machining surface of an arbitrary
figure
