Altitudes and Depths - Back Machining

Cycle: Back Machining, Interpolation

Definition

3 main references have to be defined:

It is also possible to program the same machining on the top face than the one on the back face (counter boring or reaming).

In this case, a fourth option is necessary.

Let's explain these options with the following example: a counter boring operation on the back face.

1: Altitude / Reference Starting altitude of machining:
Entity: altitude of the entity, hole or circle
Stock: safe whatever is the stock shape
2: Depth / Reference is not available
3: Back Altitude / Reference Altitude of the back face:
Entity: value in the entity, h ole or circle
Stock: safe whatever is the stock shape
4: Back depth / Reference:
Entity: altitude of the circle or value read in the hole
Stock: safe whatever is the stock shape
Manual / Entity: enter the value in Back Depth, it will be relative to the entity value
Manual / Stock: enter the value in Back Depth, it will be relative to the stock

This Section concerns Back Machining only.

Let's explain these options with the following example: a counter boring operation on the back face, and the same operation in the top face.

First to set the option Machining of the top before the plunge to Yes
1: Altitude / Reference Starting altitude of machining: Stock: safe whatever is the stock shape Entity: value in the entity, hole or circle
2: Depth / Reference
Entity: value contained in the element, okay for the hole, not possible if the element is a circle
Stock: value of the stock, rare.
Manual / Entity: enter the value in Back Depth, it will be relative to the entity position.
Manual / Stock: enter the value in Back Depth, it will be relative to the stock value.
3: Back Altitude / Reference Altitude of the back face: Entity: value in the entity, hole or circle Stock: safe whatever is the stock shape
4: Back depth / Reference: Entity: altitude of the circle or value read in the hole Stock: safe whatever is the stock shape Manual / Entity: enter the value in Back Depth, it will be relative to the entity Manual / Stock: enter the value in Back Depth, it will be relative to the stock
