Skewing a Part
With MILLPWR
G2
, it may save time setting up a job by skewing the
part. The Skew feature automatically compensates for the offset angle
of the part by touching off one straight edge with an electronic edge
finder or a mechanical indicator.
To skew a part touch off on two or more points along one axis, either
X or Y. Touch off and use the teach position feature.
A work piece that has a rough edge should have multiple points
entered along the straightest edge to more accurately calculate the
skew angle.
For some machining operations it is more convenient to
use the Skew feature rather than indicating in the work
piece.
Do not enter coordinates along a curve, two different lines,
or along a line that’s positioned at a 45 degree angle.
MILLPWR
G2 will calculate the skew angle based upon a
straight line between the points that have been entered.
