Arc Milling
The Arc Milling form is used to specify the curved surface to be milled.
The data is entered through the “Arc Mill Table”. Selecting an arc mill
entry, and then pressing the NEW, or EDIT soft key, (or ENTER), will
allow the feature to be defined.
The following listed fields require data input.
„ Plane Selection: Select the plane by pressing the PLANE soft key.
The current selection is shown on the soft key, and in the plane field.
The graphic in the message box aids in selecting the correct plane.
„ Center Point: Enter the coordinates of the arc’s center point, or
press TEACH to set the coordinate to the current position.
„ Start Point: Enter the coordinates of the start point, or press
TEACH to set the coordinate to current position.
„ End Point: Enter the coordinates of the end point, or press TEACH
to set the coordinate to current position.
„ Step: Enter the step size. When milling, this is the distance along
the circumference of the arc between each pass, or step along the
arc’s contour.
The Step size is optional. If the value is zero, the operator
decides at run-time how far to move between each step.
