•If the Lines softkey is selected, the cutter compensated lines and arcs are
joined as described below:
• Two line segments are extended until they intersect (provided they
form a 90° or greater angle). If the lines form an angle of less than
90°, a line is inserted to connect them.
• Line and arc segments have the line segment extended, and a tangent
line to the arc segment inserted and extended until the lines intersect
(provided they form a 90° or greater angle). If the segments form an
angle of less than 90°, a line is inserted to connect them.
• Two arc segments have tangent lines (to the arcs) inserted and
extended until the lines intersect (provided the extended tangent lines
form a 90° or greater angle). If the extended tangent lines form an
angle of less than 90°, a line or arc is inserted to connect them.

Calculated Plunge Points for Axial Frames
Calculations for determining the plunge points for milling cycles are for TMM, TMX MY, and
TMX MYS Series machines. The following examples are for Axial Frames and Climb Milling.
The Blend-in move is a 90° arc and occurs at the 6:00 position on the frame.
Pocket Type Inward
Xplunge = Xcorner + (XLength/2) - Blend Offset
Yplunge = Ycorner + Blend Offset + Tool radius
Pocket Type Outward
Xplunge = Xcorner + (XLength/2) + Blend Offset
Yplunge = Ycorner - Blend Offset - Tool radius
Roughing
To determine the plunge points for roughing passes, subtract the Wall Allowance from the
Yplunge.
