Example: Concave cylinder machined with ball-nose
cutter
Program run
This NCprogram works only with a ball-nose cutter.
The tool length is measured from the sphere center
The contour of the cylinder is approximated by many
short line segments (defined in Q13). The more line
segments you define, the smoother the contour
becomes.
The cylinder is milled in longitudinal cuts (here:
parallel to the Y axis).
The milling direction is determined with the starting
angle and end angle in space:
Machining direction clockwise:
Starting angle > end angle
Machining direction counterclockwise:
Starting angle < end angle
The tool radius is compensated automatically
