NOTE
1 The specified arc must not extend beyond a semicircle. To
specify a complete circle, for example, specify two
semicircles.
+(3) Figure data programming screen for retracting
ESCAPE RADIUS (R): Radius of an arc for retracting
(4) Specification of [START] from the figure menu
A final notch is automatically created where the notching start point
matches the notching end point, and the first contour has the same
profile and same direction as the last contour.
Example 1)
Notching start and end point
Example 2)
Notching start and end point
The final figure shown above can be created after specifying the
figure immediately before the last figure by pressing the [ESCAPE]
soft key.
NOTE
2 Up to 30 contour shapes can be specified for a single C–axis
end–face notching process. When a multi–quadrant arc is
included, the number of shapes which can be specified may
decrease.
