Example for Cycle 14 CONTOUR GEOMETRY
The program GEOMETR describes the geometry
of the contour.
The program is called through Cycle 14 CONTOUR
GEOMETRY.
The form electrode moves into the material step-
by-step according to counting parameter Q5.
The scaling factor is decreased after each infeed,
resulting in the diagonal side wall.
Machine parameter MP7410=1, meaning the
scaling factor does not apply to the Z axis.
