HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 215
6.3 Contour Approach and Departure
Departing on a straight line with tangential
connection: DEP LT
The tool moves on a straight line from the last contour point P
E
to the
end point P
N
. The line lies on the extension of the last contour
element. P
N
is separated from P
E
by the distance LEN.
U Program the last contour element with the end point P
E
and radius
compensation
U Initiate the dialog with the APPR/DEP key and DEP LT soft key:
U LEN: Enter the distance from the last contour element
P
E
to the end point P
N
Example NC blocks
Departing on a straight line perpendicular to the
last contour point: DEP LN
The tool moves on a straight line from the last contour point P
E
to the
end point P
N
. The line departs on a perpendicular path from the last
contour point P
E
. P
N
is separated from P
E
by the distance LEN plus the
tool radius.
U Program the last contour element with the end point P
E
and radius
compensation
U Initiate the dialog with the APPR/DEP key and DEP LN soft key:
U LEN: Enter the distance from the last contour element
to P
N
.
Always enter LEN as a positive value!
