Example: Concave cylinder machined with spherical
cutter
Program sequence
This program functions only with a spherical cutter.
The tool length refers to the sphere center.
The contour of the cylinder is approximated by many
short line segments (defined in Q13). The more
line segments you define, the smoother the curve
becomes.
The cylinder is milled in longitudinal cuts (here: parallel
to the Y axis).
The milling direction is determined with the starting
angle and end angle in space :
Machining direction clockwise:
Starting angle > end angle
Machining direction counterclockwise:
Starting angle < end angle
The tool radius is compensated automatically.
