PROFILE EDITOR
(REF: 1505)
Define a new profile, enlarge an existing one or import one from a file.
Importing a profile into the CNC.
When importing a DXF file, it shows the configuration window to define how the different
layers of the drawing must be treated.
A List of layers that make up a drawing.
The DXF files may consist of layers and each one has a different part height. All the layers
together make up the whole drawing. For each layer, it indicates its priority (order in which
they are executed) and offset (height) on the perpendicular axis.
When importing the file, you can decide which layers to include in the part-program. By
default, the CNC includes all the layers; to exclude any of them, select it from the list and
press "Disable layer".
B File preview.
The graphic shows all the layers, even if they are disabled and the selected layer is shown
in a different color.
C Data of the layer selected by the cursor. For each layer, one must define its priority and
offset (height) on the perpendicular axis.
• The priority defines the order in which the layers will be executed; i.e. the order in
which they will be included in the part-program. Those with priority ·1· will be executed
first and so on.
• The offset (height) on the perpendicular axis permits executing each layer in the
desired Z coordinate (or that of the relevant perpendicular axis).
D Work plane.
The work plane must be defined before importing the file in the part-program. The plane
is defined by selecting the abscissa axis, the ordinate axis and the perpendicular axis.
When importing it in the profile editor, the plane will be the one selected at the editor and
only the perpendicular axis can be selected.
E Output file configuration.
• Origin XY. Zero offset on the axes of the plane; the indicated offset is added to all the
blocks.
• Z offset. Safety distance for approaching to the profile.
• Associate a subroutine to circles. If a valid subroutine has been selected, the dxf
converter identifies the circles and converts them into a block with the indicated
subroutine number and the position of the center of the circle. If no valid subroutine
has been selected, the dxf converter converts the circles to segments with G2/G3.
OEM subroutines (G180-189 and G380-G399) and user subroutines are valid .
• Beginning-of-program subroutine.
• End-of-program subroutine.
