In pattern B, the tool is installed with tilted. Pattern B has to be adjusted so that horizontal lines and vertical lines are
arranged in a straight line respectively along X- and Y-axes.
Adjustment of the θ angle
The rotating angle of the tangential cutter is adjusted.
Eliminate the difference in rotating angle between the plotted pattern and the cut pattern.
Two different patterns are used for adjustment. They are different only in size.
The illustration below indicates the size of the patterns and the cutting order. Dimensions shown in parentheses are
the dimensions of pattern No. 2.
Pattern 1 (Pattern 2)
How to adjust:
Follow the adjusting procedure given below.
Sample pattern
Pattern B
How to adjust
Input a positive value as “B” that corre-
sponds to a half of the distance between
the two lines.
Input a negative value as “B” that corresponds to
a half of the distance between the two lines.
Sample pattern
Pattern 1 (Pattern 2)
How to adjust
If the cut pattern rotates clockwise as
compared with the plotted pattern,
decrease the θ value for the cutter.
If the cut pattern rotates clockwise as compared
with the plotted pattern, increase the θ value for
the cutter.
