Geometry Tab
Finishing follows the geometry of the contour defined in the Geometry tab. The fields on
the Geometry tab are defined as follows:
• COORDINATES—defines the coordinates as either Rectangular or Polar.
• Rectangular coordinates are used when working from a flat drawing
• Polar coordinates move around the cylinder as specified.
The remaining fields are based on your selection in the Coordinates field (Rotary or
Linear).
When Polar is selected in the COORDINATES field, these fields appear:
Figure 2–124. Live-Tooling Axial Mill Circle screen Geometry tab: Polar Coordinates
• R CENTER—defines the starting distance from the centerline.
• C CENTER (DEG)—defines the angle of the circle from the start point to the
end point, measured counterclockwise from the home position.
• RADIUS—defines the radius of the circle.
• Z START—defines the location where Plunge Feedrate begins. The feedrate is
set in the Plunge Feed field in the Process tab.
• Z BOTTOM—defines the bottom of the hole and the location where the
Plunge Feed Rate ends.
