Start Corner
The Start Corner setup parameter allows the user to select where the taught part will
begin for proper viewing on the screen.
Tracing Pitch
This determines how precisely to learn a part. The Tracing Pitch can be adjusted to trade
off resolution versus size of the taught part. This value does not affect the actual position
resolution of the part.
A good starting point for most tracing systems is 0.01”.
Arc Radial Error
Specifies the arc error tolerance to be used when checking the current segment for
dimensional accuracy. All ESSI or EIA programs are comprised of lines, arcs and
circles. Arc Radial Error is used to ensure that the starting and ending radial vectors are
within tolerance to describe a valid geometry.
Auto Closure Detect
This parameter is used to allow the CNC to detect that it has returned to the starting point.
With this feature ON, the CNC stops the motion of the tracer when the part is complete
allowing a lead-out to be programmed.
