- 30 -
NOTE
At guidance cutting, the Nose-R compensation is
done automatically, and the nose radius value of
inputted tool number in a process data window is
used for it.
So, the above distance data display the distance
between 2 imaginary nose point of the current tool
position and the position of that a nose circle is
touched to the target line.
(1) Approach Cutting
By switching the guidance handwheel mode on a machine operator’s
panel, an operator can select an Approaching Cutting mode.
In an approach cutting mode, a tool moves along a line perpendicular
to the target line according as an operator rotates a guidance
handwheel.
During approach cutting mode, the following guidance is displayed in
a pop-up window.
In the guidance displayed in a pop-up window, pink and green arrows
indicate the direction in which the tool is moved. The direction in
which the handwheel is rotated determines the direction of approach.
At the end of hollow arrow, the handwheel and the direction of its
rotation are displayed.
The feedrate of the tool motion depends on the speed at which the
guidance handwheel is rotated.
(2) Along Cutting
By switching the guidance handwheel mode on a machine operator’s
panel, an operator can select an Along Cutting mode.
In an along cutting mode, a tool moves along a line parallel to the
target line according as an operator rotates a guidance handwheel.
During along cutting mode, similar to the former approach cutting
mode, the guidance for handwheel rotation is displayed in a pop-up
window.
In the guidance, blue arrows indicate the direction of along cutting.
The direction in which the handwheel is rotated determines the
direction of along cutting. At the end of solid arrow, the handwheel
and the direction of its rotation are displayed.
The feedrate of the tool motion depends on the speed at which the
guidance handwheel is rotated.
