4.3.5 Operation of Guidance Cutting (Line)
By using a guidance handwheel on a machine operator’s panel, an
operator can carry out the following 2 types of linear cutting in
simultaneous X and Z-axis direction.
• Approach Cutting to an inputted Target Line
• Along Cutting to an inputted Target Line
In order to input a target line, the following data input window is
displayed in a pop-up window, and it can be called by pushing a
[LINE].
X1/Z1/X2/Z2 POS.
Absolute coordinate of separated 2 points on a line.
ANGLE
Angle of line from +Z-axis. A positive angle is
clockwise direction from +Z-axis, and minus angle is
counter clockwise direction. If this data is inputted,
only 1 point coordinate data is necessary among the
above 2 points.
After inputting necessary data in the above window, by pushing
[INPUT END], an operator can begin guidance cutting.
NOTE
As to the above position data (X1,Z1) and (X2,Z2),
instead of inputting numerical data through key-
board, an operator can input the actual tool position
by pushing [READ POS.].
Besides inputting data for target line, the following distance data are
displayed in a pop-up window. An operator can move the tool while
checking the distance to the target line.
D
Distance between the current tool position and the target
line.
DX/DZ
Distance between the current tool position and the target
line along X or Z-axis.
