5.4 Creating an ICP contour
An ICP contour consists of individual contour elements. You program
the contour by entering the individual contour elements one after the
other in the correct sequence. The starting point is defined before
you describe the first contour element. The end point is determined
by the target point of the last contour element.
The contour elements / subcontours are displayed as soon as they are
programmed. With the zoom and panning functions, you can adjust
the graphics as required.
The principle described in the following applies for all ICP contours
regardless of whether they are used for cycle programming,
smart.Turn, for turning or for milling.
Entering an ICP contour
If the contour is new, the CNC PILOT asks first for the coordinates of
the contour starting point.
Linear contour element
: Use the menu symbol to select the
direction of the element and assign it a dimension. When defining
horizontal and vertical linear elements, it is not necessary to enter the
X and Z coordinates, respectively, provided that there are no
unresolved elements.
Circular contour elements
: Use the menu symbol to select the
direction of arc rotation and give the arc a dimension.
After selecting a contour element, you enter the known parameters.
The CNC PILOT automatically calculates parameters that have not
been defined from the adjoining contour elements. You usually
program the contour elements with the dimensions given in the
production drawing.
During input of linear or circular elements, the control does display the
starting point
, but it is not editable. The starting point is the end
point of the preceding element.
You can toggle between the lines and arcs menus by soft key. Form
elements (chamfers, rounding arcs, and undercuts) are selected with
the menu key.
