8.3 EDGE MACHINING FUNCTION
The edge machining function detects edges, controls deceleration-to-
stop, performs piercing, and controls the feedrate and power during a
shift from piercing to cutting. It is intended to produce sharp edges.
Using this function requires the cutting condition setting function.
8.3.1 Detecting the Edge
During G64 mode (cutting feed), if an angle (q) formed by two cutting
feed blocks A and B is smaller than a specified angle, it is assumed to
be a corner, and the machine decelerates to stop at the end of block A
so that the feedrate and power can be controlled.
