Island

An island is a raised area within a custom pocket

that remains after material has been removed from

around all of its sides.

Though islands are easy to program, they must be

placed correctly within the program sequence.

Steps for the island's continuous tool path must

appear first, followed by the island step. Steps for

the custom pocket's continuous tool path must

appear next, followed by the custom pocket step.

You may program more than one island within the

custom pocket.

o program an island:

• Program a continuous tool path for the island.

• From the PGM screen, place the cursor below the

last

step of the island’s continuous tool path.

• Press the

MORE STEPS softkey.

• Press the

MORE STEPS softkey two more times.

• Press the

ISLAND softkey.

• Check that the first and last steps listed in the step

range match the first and last steps for the island’s

continuous tool path.

If they’re correct, press the

USE key; if they’re not,

press the CANCEL key and check that the continuous

tool path for the island is correct and/or the correct

step has been highlighted.
