Area of intersection
Only the area where A and B overlap is to be machined. (The areas
covered by A or B alone are to be left unmachined.)
The areas A and B must be entered in separate programs
without radius compensation.
In the contour formula, the areas A and B are processed with
the "intersection with" function.

Contour machining with SL Cycles
The complete contour is machined with the SL
Cycles 20 to 24 (see "Overview", page 189).
