8.1.12 Circle position pattern (HOLES2)
Function
You can program holes on a full circle or pitch circle with defined radius with the "Circle
position pattern" cycle. The basic angle of rotation (α0) for the 1st position is relative to the X
axis. The control calculates the angle of the next hole position as a function of the total
number of holes. The angle it calculates is identical for all positions.
The tool can approach the next position along a linear or circular path.
Procedure
1. The part program or ShopTurn program to be processed has been
created and you are in the editor.
2. Press the "Drilling" softkey.
3.
Press the "Positions" and "Full circle" softkeys.
The "Position circle" input window opens.
In the "Full/pitch circle" field, use the cursor to select "Full circle".
