2. The programming sequence for the different profiles is determinant when having an intersection
of more than 3 profiles.
The profile intersection process is performed according to the order in which the profiles have
been programmed. This way, the result of the intersection between the first two will be intersected
with the third one and so forth.
The initial point of the resulting profiles always coincides with the initial point that defined the
first profile.
Resulting profile
Once the profiles of the pocket and islands have been obtained, the canned cycle calculates the
remaining profiles according to the radius of the roughing tool and the programmed finishing stock.
It may occur that in this process intersections are obtained which do not appear among the
programmed profiles.
If there is an area in which the roughing tool cannot pass, when the intersection is made between
the offset of the profiles, several pockets will be obtained as a result, all of which will be machined.
