To Adjust Cut Motion Ends in 4 Axis Area Turning
After an Automatic Cut motion is created, its ends can be extended or trimmed using the following procedure.
1. On the SEQ SETUP menu, click Ends.
2. On the CUT ENDS menu, click Start to adjust the start point.
3. Choose one of:
◦ On—Place the start point of the cut motion at the start of the defined trajectory (the default).
◦ Specify—Move the start point along the defined trajectory. When you select this option, the start point of the cut motion starts following the mouse (along the cut motion, if trimmed, and tangent to the first segment, if extended). The new cut motion definition is temporary highlighted in green for better visibility.
4. If the cut motion is adjusted using Specify, select the dimensioning type:
◦ Ext Length—Enter arc length along the chain, that is, length ratio of the added or subtracted segment to the original length of the cut motion. Positive value corresponds to extended cut motion, negative—to a trimmed one.
◦ Offset Plane—Select a plane to measure offset from, then enter the offset value. Positive value means that the offset is to the positive side of the surface (away from the solid material).
◦ Offset Csys—Select a coordinate system to measure offset from. Select axis along which to measure the offset, then enter the offset value. Positive value means the positive axis direction.
5. On the CUT ENDS menu, click End to adjust the end point and repeat Steps 3 and 4.
