Example: Convex sphere machined with end mill
Program sequence
This program requires an end mill.
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.
You can determine the number of contour cuts
through the angle increment in the plane
(defined in Q18).
The tool moves upward in three-dimensional
cuts.
The tool radius is compensated automatically.
