Ellipse Frame
An ellipse frame is a closed curve with
an oval shape. The only offset available
for this is center offset. Due to the nature
of an ellipse, when the center of the tool
tracks an ellipse, its edge will have some
error. To minimize the amount of error
and cut the most accurate possible
ellipse, use the smallest tool diameter
available.
To cut an inside ellipse, subtract the tool
diameter from the size in both X-and Y-
axes.
To cut and outside ellipse, add the tool diameter to the size in both X-and Y-axes.
To program an ellipsed frame:
• From the PGM screen, press the MORE STEPS softkey.
• Press the MORE STEPS softkey again.
• Press the ELLIPSE FRAME softkey.
• Enter the location of the center point for the X-and Y-axes.
• Enter the size along the X-and Y-axes.
• Enter the depth.
• Select the cutting path direction. Press the CW softkey for a
clockwise direction or the CCW softkey for a counter-clock
wise direction.
• Enter the feed rate.
