SECTION 8 LATHE AUTO-PROGRAMMING FUNCTION (LAP)
10-5. AP Mode V (Bar Copying Cycle)
[Function]
In AP Mode V, the blank material shape data is input in addition to the finish contour shape data.
The blank material shape is programmed in the blocks starting with G83.
Cutting is parallel to the designated blank material shape. Once the cutting tool starts cutting the
workpiece, it is not moved away from the blank material until it meets the finish contour.
This feature reduces the number of tool collisions against the forged workpiece surface, resulting in
longer tool life.
This mode is also effective for ID turning, which used to be difficult in AP Mode II.
