connecting radius. If no radius is desired, or if you are programming the last
event, enter 0 by pressing the INC SET or ABS SET key without a number value.
2. The corner radius in a rectangular pocket or PROFILE. The radius is
tangential.
Continue - to tell the ProtoTRAK KMX if the event is continuous to the next
event(s) to be programmed. This saves inputs needed to define a profile. If the
event is programmed with a Yes, for continue, then X begin, Y begin, Tool
Offset, Feedrate and Tool # will not be prompted in the next one.
Direction - for an arc or circle, the direction is clockwise or counterclockwise.
Feedrate - the milling feedrate in in/min from .1 to 99.9 or in mm/min from 5 to
2500.
Fin cut - for a pocket or profile, the width of the finish cut. If 0 is input, there will be no
finish cut.
Radius - the radius of the bolt hole pattern, arc or circle.
Tool # - the number you assign to identify the tool.
Tool Diameter - the diameter of the tool. See the note on finish cuts later in this
section.
Tool offset - the selection of the tool offset, right, left or center relative to the
programmed edge and tool movement.
X or Y - the X or Y dimension, may be defined in absolute or incremental
reference.
X Begin or Y Begin - the X or Y beginning point of the line or arc.
X Center or Y Center - the X or Y dimension of the center of the bolt hole pattern, arc or
circle.
X End or Y End - the X or Y ending point of the line or arc.
X1, Y1, and X3, Y3 - the X and Y dimensions for the opposite corners on a
rectangular pocket, profile or face mill.
Prompts unique to the Subroutine and Copy events:
Cutting Order – select to cut from begin to end or end to begin on mirrored
events.
First Event # - the first event to be repeated.
Last Event # - the last event to be repeated. If only one event is to be
repeated, the First and Last events will be the same number.
Mirror Axis – selection of axis to be mirrored across.
X Offset - the incremental X offset from the event to be repeated.
