• X START (D) or (R)—defines the X (DIAMETER) or (RADIUS) startpoint for
the first element of the profile.
• Z START—defines the Z startpoint for the first element of the profile.
• STOCK ALLOWANCE—identifies the amount of material to leave on the
profile, applying stock to Tapers, Chamfers, and Arcs. The control calculates
the TURN ALLOWANCE and FACE ALLOWANCE fields when you enter a value
in this field.
• TURN ALLOWANCE—identifies the amount of material to leave on horizontal
(turn) surfaces. This field is calculated by the control when the Stock
Allowance is entered; however, you can edit the value to fine tune the data.
• FACE ALLOWANCE—identifies the amount of material to leave on vertical
(face) surfaces. This field is calculated by the control when the Stock
Allowance is entered; however, you can edit the value to fine tune the data.
Elements
The first element in a Profile data block is always a Profile Start indicated by the Element
zero (0). The last element in a Profile data block is always a Profile End. Element numbers
are system generated, and you cannot change them. As you insert elements for the
profile, the numbers increment and the Profile End changes to the last number in the
sequence.
The Calc-Assist feature calculates certain unknown element dimensions automatically,
after sufficient data has been entered. A field with a calculated value is indicated with
“CAL” preceding the value. Since elements are dependent on adjacent blocks for
calculations or end points, you cannot copy or paste individual elements.
These softkeys appear for creating and editing Elements in a Profile:
• PREVIOUS ELEMENT F1—access the previous element in the current
Profile data block. This softkey is not active when Element 0 is active.
• NEXT ELEMENT F2—accesses the next element in the current Profile
data block. This softkey is not active in the Profile End screen.
• DELETE ELEMENT F3—deletes the current element from the current
Profile data block. This softkey is not active when either Element 0 or
Profile End is active.
• INSERT ELEMENT BEFORE F7—adds a new element in front of the
current element in the current Profile data block. This softkey is not active
when Element 0 is active.
