484 Programming: Execution of CAM Programs, Multi-axis Machining
12.1 Execution of CAM programs
Other useful post-processor configurations for the machine tool
operator:
Separate feed rates for pre-positioning, machining, and
downfeeds, and define them via Q parameters at the beginning of
the program (see example)
In order to improve the structure of large NC programs, use the
TNC’s structuring function: See "Structuring programs" on page
158
Use the TNC’s commenting function in order to document NC
programs: See "Adding comments" on page 156
Use the comprehensive cycles of the TNC available for the
machining of drill holes and simple pocket geometries: See the
Cycle Programming User's Manual
For fits, output the contours with RL/RR tool radius compensation:
See "Tool radius compensation" on page 215. This makes it easy
for the machine operator to make necessary compensations
