PROGRAMMING
MILLPWR ®
Operation Manual 3-3
Continuous Milling
MILLPWR will cut a continuous contour of lines and/or
arcs, without stopping. MILLPWR will automatically rec -
ognize continuous contours as they are programmed.
There are no special key presses or other functions to
learn.
For lines and arcs to be continuous, they must:
• have the same depth
• be cut with the same tool
• be cut using the same tool offset
• share a common “From” or “To” point (one step must
end at the point where next begins)
If one step follows another, MILLPWR assumes that they are to be connected. It auto-
matically fills in the “From” point, “Depth,” and “Tool Offset.” To complete the step, fill in
the “To” point and press
USE .
Note: MILLPWR will allow different feed rates within each step of a contour.
Single lines
indicate an
open-ended
continuous
tool path.
Double lines
indicate a
closed con-
tinuous tool
path.
Note: An “X” after a step number indicates that the step is invalid. Highlight the step, press enter
and correct the information as needed. Press use when finished.
