6.3.5 Entering Contours Machined with
the C Axis
You define standard forms with Figures, regular linear
or circular figures or holes in patterns. To define
complex contours, use the basic elements ”line” and
”arc.”
Patterns
■ Linear hole pattern (drilling)
■ Circular hole pattern (drilling)
■ Linear figure pattern (milling)
■ Circular figure pattern (milling)
■ Single bore hole
Figures
■ Circle (full circle)
■ Rectangle
■ Polygon
■ Linear groove
■ Circular slot
You position patterns and figures on the
■ Front face (C-axis machining)
■ Lateral surface (C-axis machining)
■ Rear side (C-axis machining)
Setting/selecting the reference plane
The reference plane, i.e. the selected window, is
marked by a color frame. TURN PLUS refers all
activities to this window.
Activate another reference plane (window):
Adjust 1st window configuration
”Configuration – Change – Views” (main menu)
Mark the window (”window configuration” dialog
box)
Return to main menu
Select ”Workpiece - Finished Part.”
Select the window: ”PgUp/PgDN”
Select the 2nd window (reference plane)
Select the ”turning contour” window
Select pattern/figure (”Pattern/Figures”)
TURN PLUS opens the ”Select input plane” dialog
box – select the reference plane
Selection with multiple windows: ”PgUp/PgDn”

Continued
■ Define the complete turning contour before defining the
contours for C/Y-axis machining.
■ Select the reference plane (front face, lateral surface,
etc.) before you define the contours for the C/Y axis.
