CUT COND.
Data item Meaning
E FEED RATE- AXIS Feedrate applicable when cutting is performed in the
tool axis direction toward the bottom of a side face
being machined
DETAIL
Data item Meaning
W UP CUT/DOWN CUT [UP CUT] : Performs machining in up-cut mode,
assuming that the tool is rotating
clockwise.
[DWNCUT] : Performs machining in down-cut mode,
assuming that the tool is rotating
clockwise.
(COPY)
C CLEARANCE OF AXIS Distance between the surface of a blank being
machined and a cutting start point (point R) in the tool
axis direction (radius value, positive value)
Remark) By referring to the parameter No.27009
(minimum clamp value), the system sets the
data as Initial value.
P APPROACH TYPE [ARC] : Approaches a side face along an arc.
[TANGEN] : Approaches a side face along the straight
line tangent to the first figure in side face
cutting.
[VERTIC] : Approaches a side face along the straight
line normal to the first figure in side face
cutting.
(COPY)
R APPROACH RAD./DIST. Radius when [ARC] is specified.
Straight line length when [TANGEN] or [VERTIC] is
specified. (radius value, positive value)
Remark) By referring to the parameter No.27010
(minimum clamp value), the system sets the
data as Initial value.
A* APPROACH ANGLE Center angle of the arc when [ARC] is specified. The
default is 90 degrees. (positive value)
Remark) This data item is indicated only when [ARC]
is selected for APPROACH TYPE. (COPY)
Q ESCAPE TYPE [ARC] : Retracts from a side face along an arc.
[TANGEN] : Retracts from a side face along the
straight line tangent to the last figure in
side face cutting.
[VERTIC] : Retracts from a side face along the
straight line normal to the last figure in
side face cutting.
