5.6 Free Contour Programming / Contour Calculator
☑ Basic configuration
The SINUMERIK 802D sl supports you in free programming, from simple to complex
contours. Free contour programming is a support tool for the DIN/ISO editor. Programs can
be decompiled in the program editor and can thus be revised in the contour calculator.
You can include the following contour elements and parameterize them in screen forms:
● Straight line in the X direction
● Straight line in the Y direction
● Oblique line in the X/Y direction. You can enter the end point of the straight line using
coordinates or an angle.
● Arc with any direction of rotation.
Additional screen forms enable you to determine the starting point and to close the contour.
The contour calculator supports you in programming the following functions, among others:
• Calculation of only partly determined
elements, as soon as the missing
parameters can be derived from
parameters already known, e.g.
geometry data missing in the parts
drawing.
• Chaining of contour elements.
• Insert radius or chamfer between two
contour elements.
• Transfer of the programmed contours to
the edited part program.
• It is possible to delete and insert contour
elements at a later stage
