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.
Choose a method based upon the information available from your
print.
Entering Data:
From the PGM screen, press the LINE key to access the
MILL LINE Dialogue.
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 the BEGIN and END depths for the Z axis.
Enter the Z axis feed rate. The default FEED ... IPM rate provided
must be adjusted according to the current machining operation. This
field will automatically use the last entered feed rate in the program.
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
soft key.
Enter the table’s feed rate. The default feed rate is what was
entered into JOB SETUP dialogue.
Press the USE key.
If the tool size and type listed in the TOOL field are
incorrect, change the tool settings before running the
program.
