Programming contour element
Functionality
Once you have defined the contour start point, press this softkey and you can begin programming
the individua
l contour elements from the main screen shown below:
Opens the window for programming a vertical straight line (in X direction)
Opens the window for programming a horizontal straight line (in Z direction)
Opens the window for programming an oblique line in the X
/Z direction. The end point of the line is entered using
Opens the window for programming a circular arc with any direction of rotation
-level menu for more programming options:
Specifies a pole
Closes the contour
Returns to the program editor without transferring the last edited values to the system
Returns to the program editor with the last edited values transferred to the system
Further softkey functions
The following softkeys are available in corresponding contour element window for programming the contour elements on the
basis of pre-assigned parameters.
Tangent to preceding element
This softkey presets the angle α2 to a value of 0. The contour element has a tangential transition to
the preceding element, i.e. the angle to the preceding element (α2) is set to 0 degree.
Displaying all parameters
Press this softkey to display a selection
list of all the parameters for the selected contour element. If
you leave any parameter input fields blank, the control assumes that you do not know the right
values and attempts to calculate these from the settings of the other parameters. The contour is
always machined in the programmed direction.
