5.14 Contours in the XY plane

In smart.Turn, ICP provides the following contours for machining with

the Y axis:

 Complex contours defined with individual contour elements

 Figures

 Holes

 Pattern of figures or holes

 Single surface

 Polygon

Enter the dimensions of the XY plane contour elements in Cartesian

or polar values. You can switch between them by pressing a soft key

(see table). You can mix Cartesian coordinates and polar coordinates

to define a point.

Reference data in XY plane

The reference data is followed by the contour definition with individual

contour elements.

You can find the reference dimension ZR and the limit diameter IR

with the "select reference plane" function (siehe Seite 425).

ICP generates:

 The FACE_Y section code with the parameters reference

dimension, spindle angle, and limit diameter. The section code is

omitted for nested contours.

 A G308 with the parameters contour name and milling depth.

 A G309 at the end of the contour description.
