15.2 Generate contour table (CONTPRON)
Function
Contour preparation is activated using the command CONTPRON. The NC blocks that are
subsequently called are not executed, but are split-up into individual movements and stored
in the contour table. Each contour element corresponds to one row in the two-dimensional
array of the contour table. The number of relief cuts is returned.
Syntax
Activate contour preparation:
CONTPRON(<contour table>,<machining type>,<relief cuts>,
<machining direction>)
Deactivate contour preparation and return to the normal execution mode:
EXECUTE(<ERROR>)
See " Deactivate contour preparation (EXECUTE) "
