Contour direction (cycle programming)
The cutting direction during cycle programming depends on the
direction of the contour. If the contour is described in the –Z direction,
a tool with the orientation 1 must be used for longitudinal machining.
(Siehe “General tool parameters” auf Seite 518.) The cycle used
determines whether machining is transverse or longitudinal.
If the contour is described in the –X direction, a transverse machining
cycle or a tool with the orientation 3 must be used.
 ICP cut, longitudinal/transverse (roughing): The MANUALplus
machines the workpiece in the contour direction.
 ICP finishing, longitudinal/transverse: The MANUALplus finishes
the workpiece in the contour direction.
Soft keys in the ICP editor main menu
Inverts the definition direction of the
contour.
An ICP contour which was defined for a roughing
operation with the cycle "ICP cut longitudinal" cannot be
used for machining with the cycle "ICP cut transverse."
Reverse the contour direction with the Turn contour soft
key.
