Parameter for tangential cutting
Enable tangential axis
The parameter Enable tangential axis is generally responsible for
switching on or off the tangential axis function.If it is activated this
function will also be considered during reference move.
i
Tangential cuts are only possible if the 4th axis is equipped with
a defined reference switch or if a reference move has been
carried out. Otherwise the user is asked to execute a reference
move.
Angle for stop, lift an lift height
During the process of tangential cutting it is important to avoid too
large or too wide cutter rotations into the material. By means of both
angle paramaters it is possible to determine exactly the moment of
stopping a movement concerning direction change or cutter rotations
or even when the cutter has to be lifted.
External cutter
rotations
A movement will be previously stopped when the cutter rotations are
greater than the stop angle, then the cutter will be rotated and
subsequently the movement will be continued. If rotations are
greater than the lifting angle the cutter will be lifted after a
movememt stop and then it is rotated and put down again.
