Executable pocket file.
To simulate or execute this type of pockets, the CNC uses an
executable file with geometry information. This file is generated the
first time the pocket is simulated or executed. If from the editor, any
data of the pocket geometry or the used tool, is modified, the CNC will
generate this file again.
The executable files are stored in the directory CNC8070 \Users
\Pocket with the name of the pocket (parameter P.3D) and the
extension C3D. These files must not be deleted, moved to another
location or tampered with in any way. If when executing or simulating
the pocket, the CNC cannot find these files, it will generate them.
Overall, a 2D pocket consists of the following files.
pocket.P3D Pocket composition.
profile.PXY Plane profile.
profile.PXZ Depth profile.
pocket.C3D Executable file.
The executable file is also updated after a software update and when
executing or simulating a pocket,
Basic operation:
The CNC calculates the initial coordinate depending on the geometry
of the pocket and the tool radius.
1. It selects the roughing tool and starts the spindle in the requested
direction.
2. Rapid movement (G0) to the roughing starting point and the safety
plane (Zs).
Depending on the starting plane, it first moves in XY and then in
Z or vice versa.
In versions prior to V2.00, the user generated the executable file from
the editor before inserting the cycle. From version V2.00 on, it is no
longer necessary, the CNC is in charge of generating the executable
file when necessary.
