FACE F1, TAPER F2, TURN F3, ARC F4, BLEND ARC F5, CHAMFER F6.
3. Select one of the Element softkeys. The Profile screen appears with values
carried forward from the Profile Start screen or from previous Elements.
Refer to Turn Element, on page 2 - 28, Face Element, on page 2 - 29, Taper Element, on
page 2 - 30, Arc Element, on page 2 - 32, Blend Arc Element, on page 2 - 34, or Chamfer
Element, on page 2 - 36 for programming details.
Element operations can be programmed by defining profiles along the X and Z axis. Blend
Arcs and Chamfers can be inserted between Turn, Face, and Taper operations.
When Rough Turning, Element 1 must be either a Face or a Turn
operation.
• If Element 1 is a Face, the last element before the Profile End
must be a Turn.
• If Element 1 is a Turn, the last element before the Profile End
must be a Face.
