Explanation
- Operations
A straight cutting cycle performs four operations:
(1) Operation 1 moves the tool from the start point (A) to the
specified coordinate of the second axis on the plane (specified
X-coordinate for the ZX plane) in rapid traverse.
(2) Operation 2 moves the tool to the specified coordinate of the first
axis on the plane (specified Z-coordinate for the ZX plane) in
cutting feed. (The tool is moved to the cutting end point (A') in
the direction of the length.)
(3) Operation 3 moves the tool to the start coordinate of the second
axis on the plane (start X-coordinate for the ZX plane) in cutting
feed.
(4) Operation 4 moves the tool to the start coordinate of the first axis
on the plane (start Z-coordinate for the ZX plane) in rapid
traverse. (The tool returns to the start point (A).)
