Approaching on a straight line with tangential
connection: APPR LT
The tool moves on a straight line from the starting point P
S
to an
auxiliary point P
H
. It then moves to the first contour point P
A
on a
straight line that connects tangentially to the contour. The auxiliary
point P
H
is separated from the first contour point P
A
by the distance
LEN.
Use any path function to approach the starting point P
S
Initiate the dialog with the APPR/DEP key and APPR LT soft key:
Coordinates of the first contour point P
A
LEN: Distance from the auxiliary point P
H
to the
first contour point P

Approaching on a straight line perpendicular to the
first contour point: APPR LN
The tool moves on a straight line from the starting point P
S
to
an auxiliary point P
H
. It then moves to the first contour point P
A
on a straight line perpendicular to the first contour element. The
auxiliary point P
H
is separated by the distance LEN plus the tool
radius from the first contour point P
A
.
Use any path function to approach the starting point P
S
Initiate the dialog with the APPR/DEP key and APPR LN soft
key:
Coordinates of the first contour point P
A
Length: Distance to the auxiliary point P
H
. Always
enter LEN as a positive value!
