Description of function

8H000_60

Cutting two straight lines creates contour corners. You can insert a chamfer at these contour corners. The angle of the corner is irrelevant; you simply define the length by which each straight line is shortened. The control does not traverse to the corner point.

If you program a feed rate in the CHF block, then this feed rate is in effect only while cutting the chamfer.

Programming a chamfer

  1. To program a chamfer:
Chf

  1. Select CHF
  2. Define the length of the chamfer
  3. Define the feed rate, if necessary
