With NC function APPR PLN, the control approaches the contour on a straight line perpendicular to the first contour element.
Coordinates of the first contour point are programmed with polar coordinates.
With NC function APPR PLN, the control approaches the contour on a straight line perpendicular to the first contour element.
Coordinates of the first contour point are programmed with polar coordinates.
You must define a pole CC before programming with polar coordinates.
NC programs contained in this User's Manual are suggestions for solutions. The NC programs or individual NC blocks must be adapted before being used on a machine.
Some NC programs depend on the machine kinematics. Adapt these NC programs to your machine kinematics before the first test run.
In addition, test the NC programs using the simulation before the actual program run.
With a program test you determine whether the NC program can be used with the available software options, the active machine kinematics and the current machine configuration.
