Using simple contour formulas, you can easily combine up to nine subcontours (pockets or islands) to program a particular contour. The control calculates the complete contour from the selected subcontours.
The memory capacity for programming an SL cycle (all contour description programs) is limited to 128 contours. The number of possible contour elements depends on the type of contour (inside or outside contour) and the number of contour descriptions. You can program up to 16384 contour elements.
Void areas
Using optional void areas V (void), you can exclude areas from machining. These area can be, for example, contours in castings or areas machined in previous steps. You can define up to five void areas.
If you are using OCM cycles, the control will plunge vertically within void areas.
If you are using SL Cycles 22 to 24, the control will determine the plunging position, regardless of any defined void areas.
Run the simulation to verify proper behavior.
