Departure function DEP LN

Application

The control uses the DEP LN function to depart a contour on a straight line perpendicular to the last contour point.

Description of function

8H000_43
  • The control departs the contour as follows:
  • On a straight line from the last contour point PE to the end point PN
  • The line leads away from the last contour point PE on a perpendicular path.
  • PN is separated from PE by the distance LEN plus the tool radius.

Programming DEP LN

  1. To define the departure function:
  2. Program the last contour element with the end point PE and radius compensation
ApprDep

  1. Select APPR DEP
  2. The control opens the Insert NC function window.
ProgramDepLnIcon

  1. Select DEP LN
  2. Use LEN to define the positive distance to the auxiliary point PH

Example

11 L Y+20 RR F100

; Last contour element PE with radius compensation RR

12 DEP LN LEN+20 F100

; Distance from PE to PN: LEN 20

13 L Z+100 FMAX M2

; Retract in Z, return jump, end program
