5.3.5 Operation of Entering a Tool Path (Positioning/Line/Circle)
After positioning a cursor to the end of taught-in blocks in a figure
data window, an operator can input a tool path data with its end point
calculating.
When the coordinate of the figure end point is unknown, it can be
calculated and the figure can be entered.
Positioning Motion
By pushing a [POS.], the following figure inputting window is
displayed in a pop-up window.
END POINT X/Z
Absolute coordinate of end point
NOTE
As to the above position data (X,Z), instead of
inputting numerical data through key-board, an
operator can input the actual tool position by
pushing [READ POS.].
Linear Cutting Motion
By pushing a [LINE], the following figure inputting window is
displayed in a pop-up window.
END POINT X/Z
Absolute coordinate of end point
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 angle data is inputted, end
point either X or Z need not be entered, and not inputted
data can be calculated.
FEEDRATE
Feedrate of this cutting motion (data inputted in process
data is set as a default value)
NOTE
As to the above position data (X,Z), instead of
inputting numerical data through key-board, an
operator can input the actual tool position by
pushing [READ POS.].
