3.2.5.8 Side Surfacing Machining
Side surfacing machining includes outside-in rectangular/circular side surfacing and inside-out rectangular/circular side surfacing. The sequence of side surfacing machining is below:
(1) |
The tool move rapidly to the start position Center X/Y (X,Y) and the start height, which is Center Z (Z value) + Clearance (C value). |
(2) |
The tool descends to Length/Depth Z (W value) with Feed Rate (F value), then, side surfacing machining is started according to the selected cutting direction and the input feed rate. |
(3) |
When side surfacing machining command is finished, the tool ascends to the start height and stay at the center position Center X/Y (X,Y). |
Note: |
When starting side surfacing machining, the tool will first cut into the side surfacing machining surface in a semi-circular path. When the side surfacing machining is completed, the tool will also leave the side surfacing machining surface in a semicircular path (Please refer to the sample diagram). |
