Example: Convex sphere machined with end mill
Program sequence
n
This program requires an end mill.
n
The contour of the sphere is approximated by
many short lines (in the Z/X plane, defined in
Q14). The smaller you define the angle
increment, the smoother the curve becomes.
n
You can determine the number of contour cuts
through the angle increment in the plane
(defined in Q18).
n
The tool moves upward in three-dimensional
cuts.
n
The tool radius is compensated automatically.
