With the NC function DEP PLCT, the control departs from the contour on a circular path, followed by a tangential straight line to the last contour element.
The coordinates of the end point PN are programmed with polar coordinates.
With the NC function DEP PLCT, the control departs from the contour on a circular path, followed by a tangential straight line to the last contour element.
The coordinates of the end point PN are programmed with polar coordinates.
You must define a pole CC before programming with polar coordinates.
The auxiliary point PH is determined based on the last contour point PE, the radius R and the end point PN.
If you program the Z coordinate in the departure function, then the tool moves simultaneously in three axes from the auxiliary point PH to the end point PN.
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.
