11.1.4 Profile programming syntax
When outside and inside profiles of an irregular pocket are programmed the following programming
rules must be followed: The canned cycle will verify all these geometry rules before beginning to
make the pocket adapting the profile of the pocket to them and displaying the error message when
necessary.
• All types of programmed profiles must be closed. The following examples cause a geometry
error.
• No profile must intersect itself. The following examples cause a geometry error.
• When more than one outside profile has been programmed, the canned cycle assumes the one
occupying the largest surface.
• It is not required to program inside profiles. Should these be programmed, they must be partially
or totally internal with respect to the outside profile. Some examples are given below.
• An internal profile totally contained within another internal profile cannot be programmed. In this
case, only the most external profile will be considered.
