WARNING
When entering contour data, make sure that the specified
shape is the one that can be machined according to the
machining type and area selected as the process data.
If an incorrect shape is specified, the tool may bump against
the workpiece and/or machine, possibly causing damage to
the tool and/or machine, and even injuries.
CAUTION
After contour data is entered, make sure that the coordinates
and arc radius of each specified shape are correct; the
specified shape can be displayed graphically. It is especially
necessary to make sure that the data automatically calculated
using a conversational function is definitely correct.
If the data is incorrect, it is impossible to create a correct
product.
For figure data used in machining except for bar machining, pattern
repeating, C–axis notching, C–axis cylindrical machining, and Y–axis
milling machining specify the reference position or start point, and the
end point that are required for machining.
Use the numeric keys and the INPUT key to enter data.
Example) Figure data screen for threading
Move the cursor to the next line in the process data. After displaying the
figure data, enter the following:
100
INPUT (START POINT X)
0
INPUT (START POINT Z)
100
INPUT (END POINT X)
50
INPUT (END POINT Z)
