Plunge

Definition

Safety and efficiency are ensured by the automatic plunge motions.

If your choice is not possible (not enough room to plunge in helix for example), GO2cam applies automatically the following option (Ramping) etc.

Several options are possible:

	Helix
	Ramping Inverted
	Vertical
	Zig Zag

For open pockets, the first plunge (in black) is always outside of material. Then the second pocket is done with an helix plunge.	In the same cycle, GO2cam applies the 1^st choice (helix) during first plunge in black, then it changes to 2^nd choice (ramping) if there is not room enough for an helix.

Mini Helix Radius

Definition

Definition of a minimal helix radius for the plunge.

This value cannot be > to the tool radius value.
The tool plunges with an helix where it is possible to, according to the radius defined and to the area to machine. If it is not possible, like shown in the example, the tool does a ramping plunge.

Mini ramping radius

Minium radius for a rampling plunge (Maxi = Tool radius).

Mini rad mach area

Radius of the minimum machinable area (useless if inferior to tool radius).

Plunge angle

Angle equal to 0.0 => plunge angle of tool, or enter a value defining the plunge.
