5.5 ARBITRARY FIGURES FOR TURNING (ZX PLANE)
Arbitrary figures in the ZX plane can be used in turning.
1. Outer surface rough/semifinish/finish turning
2. Inner surface rough/semifinish/finish turning
3. End surface rough/semifinish/finish turning
NOTE
1 See Section 2.1, "Turning," in Part III for detailed
descriptions about data to be entered for each type
of cycle machining.
2 When entering an arbitrary figure for turning, make
its end point coincide with its start point. To put
another way, combine parts figures with blank
figures in such a way that a closed curve is
created.
Turning is carried out in this closed curve.
3 It is possible to specify "PART" and "BLANK" as
"ELEMENT TYPE" for an individual arbitrary figure.
This "BLANK" can be used to enter an arbitrary
figure resembling a blank figure to be actually
machined, so any portion other than the blank
portion will not be cut. This way, optimum rough
turning can be realized.
Start point: G1450 (ZX plane)
ELEMENT (INPUT DATA) (Note 1)
Data item Meaning
DX START POINT DX X coordinate of the start point of an arbitrary figure
Z START POINT Z Z coordinate of the start point of an arbitrary figure
