• The Feed field is initially displayed with a value carried forward from the
previous element. This value can be accepted or changed.
These fields are available for programming a Blend Arc Element:
• X END (D) or (R)—contains the X (DIAMETER) or (RADIUS) coordinate for
the ending point of the blend arc. The value in this read-only field is carried
over from the previous element.
• Z END—contains the Z coordinate for the ending point of the blend arc. The
value in this read-only field is carried over from the previous element.
• DIRECTION—contains the direction of the blend arc from the start point, CW
(clockwise) or CCW (counterclockwise). The value in this read-only field is
carried over from the previous element.
• X CENTER (D) or (R)—contains the X (DIAMETER) or (RADIUS) coordinate
of the blend arc’s center point. The value in this read-only field is carried over
from the previous element.
• Z CENTER—contains the Z coordinate of the blend arc’s center point. The
value in this read-only field is carried over from the previous element.
• RADIUS—identifies the radius of the blend 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.
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.
