Operation Manual
Line
Lines are defined by their “From” point (the point where
they begin) and “To” point (the point where they end).
There are two ways you can program a line:
•
With four coordinates (X1, Y1, X2, Y2)
•
With three of the coordinates above (X1, X2, Y2 or X1,
Y1, X2, etc.) and an angle
Keep in mind that the angle is measured from the line on
the X-axis and sweeps towards the adjacent line.
Choose a method based upon the information available from
the print.
To program a line:
•
Press the
LINE
key.
•
Enter the beginning X- and/or Y-axes coordinates into the “From” field.
•
Enter the ending X- and/or Y-axes coordinates into the “To” field.
•
Enter a depth.
•
If one of the X- or Y-axes fields above was left blank, enter an angle.
•
Highlight the "Offset" field and press the
LEFT
,
CENTER,
or
RIGHT
softkey.
•
Enter the feed rate.
•
Press the
USE
key.
Note:
If the tool size and type listed in the "Tool" field are incorrect, change the tool
settings before running the program (refer to Programming a Tool Step).
