SECTION 9 CONTOUR GENERATION
1. Contour Generation Programming Function (Face)
1-1. Function Overview
The contour generation function can cut straight lines or arcs on the end face of a workpiece by
simultaneous two-axis interpolation of the C- and X-axes on multi-machining models.
Note that simultaneous three-axis control of X, Z, and C axes is possible for straight line cutting on a
plane.
1-2. Programming Format
Straight line cutting : G101 X Z C F
X, Z, C : Coordinates of target point on straight line
F : Feedrate (mm/min)
Arc cutting : G102 X C L F
X, C : Coordinates of end point of clockwise arc
L : Arc radius
F : Feedrate (mm/min)
: G103 X C L F
X, C : Coordinates of end point of counterclockwise arc
L : Arc radius
F : Feedrate (mm/min)
