Reaming Operation
These fields appear for performing reaming operations when the tool is a Live Ream:
• RETRACT AT RAPID—defines the retract as rapid or feed. Select Yes for
rapid or No for feed. This field is available when the tool is a Live Ream.
• DWELL TIME (SEC)—specifies the time in seconds the Z axis dwells after
the cycle reaches Z Bottom and before retracting at Feed. This field appears
when the tool is a Live Ream and No is selected for Retract at Rapid.
Axial Locations
From the Axial Holes screen, with the cursor in the Operation field, either select NEXT
HOLE OPERATION F2 or INSERT HOLE OPERATION F7. From the New Axial Holes
Operation screen select Axial Locations F2. The Axial Holes Locations screen appears. The
fields are based on your choice in the Coordinates field (Polar or Rectangular).
The fields on the Axial Locations screen are defined as follows:
• COORDINATES—defines the coordinates as either Linear or Rotary.
• Rectangular coordinates are used when working from a flat drawing.
• Polar coordinates move around the cylinder as specified.
• Location Number—identifies the sequential number for the location. When
the fields for each location are filled in, press Enter. The next row of fields
becomes active and the Location Number field increments by one.
When the cursor is in one of the Location fields (R, C (DEG), X, Y, or Retract) these
softkey choices are available:
• DELETE LOCATION F4—delete a selected row of location fields.
• ADD LOCATION F5—add a row of location fields to the bottom of the list.
• INSERT LOCATION BEFORE F7—insert a row of location fields above the
selected row.
The remaining fields appear based on your selection in the Coordinates field (Polar or
Rectangular).
