Departing on a straight line perpendicular to the
last contour point: DEP LN
The tool moves on a straight line from the last contour point P
E
to the
end point P
N
. The line departs on a perpendicular path from the last
contour point P
E
. P
N
is separated from P
E
by the distance LEN plus the
tool radius.
8
Program the last contour element with the end point P
E
and radius
compensation.
8
Initiate the dialog with the APPR/DEP key and DEP LN soft key:
8
LEN: Enter the distance from the last contour element
to P
N
.
Always enter LEN as a positive value!
Example NC blocks
Departure on a circular path with tangential
connection: DEP CT
The tool moves on a circular arc from the last contour point P
E
to the
end point P
N
. The circular arc connects tangentially to the last contour
element.
8
Program the last contour element with the end point P
E
and radius
compensation.
8
Initiate the dialog with the APPR/DEP key and DEP CT soft key:
8
Center angle CCA of the arc
8
Radius R of the circular arc
If the tool should depart the workpiece in the
direction of the radius compensation (i.e. to the
right with RR or to the left with RL): Enter R as a
positive value.
If the tool should depart the workpiece in the
direction opposite to the radius compensation:
Enter R as a negative value.
