These fields appear on the Taper Element screen:
• X END (D) or (R)—identifies the X (DIAMETER) or (RADIUS) coordinate for
the ending point of the Taper.
• Z END—identifies the Z coordinate for the ending point.
• LENGTH—contains the control-calculated X-Z length of the element. This
value can be accepted or changed.
• ANGLE—contains the control-calculated X-Z angle from the start point to the
end point, measured counterclockwise from the 3 o’clock position. This value
can be accepted or changed.
• X START (D) or (R)—defines the X (DIAMETER) or (RADIUS) startpoint for
the element. The value in this read-only field is carried over from the
previous element.
• Z START—defines the Z startpoint for the first element of the profile. The
value in this read-only field is carried over from the previous element.
• FINISH SPEED (FPM) or (MPM)—identifies the speed for the finish pass.
This field is only active when Turn Finish or Groove Finish is selected in the
Profile Start Process Operation field.
• FINISH FEED (IPR) or (MMPR)—identifies the feedrate for the finish pass.
This field is only active when Turn Finish or Groove Finish is selected in the
Profile Start Process Operation field.
• FINISH OFFSETS—identifies the offset and the orientation for the finish
pass. This field is only active when Turn Finish or Groove Finish is selected in
the Profile Start Process Operation field.
When the cursor is located in either the X END (D) or (R) field or
the Z END field, the FIND ANOTHER END POINT F7 softkey
appears. Select this softkey and the control calculates a second end
point to provide you with an alternative. You can choose the
geometry that best suits your needs.
When the cursor is located on either the active FINISH SPEED (FPM)
or (MPM), FINISH FEED (IPR) or (MMPR), or FINISH OFFSETS field,
the COPY SPEED TO ALL ELEMENTS F6, COPY FEED TO ALL
ELEMENTS F6, or COPY OFFSETS TO ALL ELEMENTS F6 softkey is
available, respectively.
Select the softkey, and a pop-up message appears asking if you
would like to use the defined speed, feed, or offset in all following
elements. Select Yes to use this speed, feed, or offset in all elements
that follow in this data block.
