Description
The CLEAR_DIST parameter enables you to specify a clear distance that is above the workpiece surface at which PLUNGE_FEED ends and CUT_FEED begins. It provides more control over the application of the plunge feed.
Benefits
This easy-to-use enhancement provides the following benefits:
• Maintains consistency across the Turning sequences
• Provides better control over PLUNGE_FEED
This enhancement also allows for faster machining, as three defined feeds are available for three different portions on the toolpath:
• Rapid feed for approach
• Plunge feed and Cut feed to remove a material
Additional Information
Tips: | CLEAR_DIST and PLUNGE_FEED must be defined together. |
