• RADIUS—contains the radius of the arc.
• 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.
If the only information known about an arc is its radius, it is easier to
program it as a blend arc, if the elements intersect. Refer to Blend
Arc Element, on page 2 - 34 for information about the blend arc
element.
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.
