Contour direction
The cutting direction depends on the direction of the contour. If the
contour is described in the negative Z-axis direction, the control uses
a longitudinal cycle (see figure to the upper right). If the contour is
described in the negative X-axis direction, the control uses a
transverse cycle (see figure at center right).
„ ICP cut, longitudinal/transverse (roughing)
MANUALplus machines the workpiece in the contour direction.
„ ICP finishing, longitudinal/transverse
MANUALplus finishes the workpiece in the contour direction.
An ICP contour which was defined for a roughing
operation with the cycle "ICP cut longitudinal" cannot be
used for machining with the cycle "ICP cut transverse."
You can reverse the contour direction with the Turn
contour soft key.
