CORN_ANG_LIMIT
|
|
This is the angle used to determine whether shallow sections at corners must be joined if the CORN_CONN_TYPE parameter is set to XY Plane or 3D.
|
|
CORN_CONN_TYPE
|
|
Indicates the type of linking movements used to join shallow sections of passes at corners where fillets join. This parameter has the following values:
• None—Passes are not connected at corners so the corners may not be cleared of rest material.
• XY Plane—Passes are connected at corners if the angle between them is less than the corner angle limit when viewed in the XY plane.
• 3D—Passes are connected at corners if the angle between them is less than the corner angle limit in 3D space.

|
SPIRAL_CONN_TYPE
|
|
Indicates the type of linking moves to be used to connect the ends of shallow sections of passes so that the passes are machined from outermost to innermost in a spiral. This parameter has the following values:
• none
—No spiral connections are created.
• surface
—Spiral connections are made and lie on the surface.
• Off Surface
—Spiral connections are made and are lifted off the surface.
|
|
STEEP_REGION_CUT_TYPE
|
|
This parameter has the following values:
• CLIMB—.The passes are linked so that they go in a one-way direction.
• UPCUT—The passes are broken into pieces such that each piece is machined in a upward direction.
• ZIG_ZAG—Each pass is machined in the opposite direction to the previous pass alternating between climb and conventional milling styles, with a short linking motion connecting the two ends.

STEEP_TO_FLAT_ANGLE
|
|
If the angle between the fillet center line and the horizontal plane is less than this parameter, then the corresponding area for rest finishing is shallow, otherwise it is steep.
