Departure function DEP LN

Application

With the NC function DEP LN, the control departs from the contour on a straight line perpendicular to the last contour element.

Description of function

The tool moves in a straight line from the last contour point PE to the end point PN.

The distance from the end point PN to the contour point PE is LEN plus the tool radius.

Input
