Description
This enhancement supports the creation of lead-in or lead-out arcs along the tool axis using ARC_TANGENT. These arcs are tangential to the cut. You can use ARC_TANGENT as the value of the CUT_ENTRY_EXT parameter for the entry motion or CUT_EXIT_EXT parameter for the exit motion.
Benefits
This enhancement provides the following benefits:
• Defines the entry and exit movements along the direction of the cut
• Reduces the possibility of breaking small tools
• Supports 3, 4, and 5-axis trajectory steps
