Z repeat

Cycles: Facing Pocket

Definition

This option enables you to program the exact same toolpath at each Z step.

The G-code can be generated in decomposed but can also contain subprogram.

To generate subprogram, a modification must be done in the editor of standard post-processor. You have to contact your reseller for this.

Prerequisite

This option cannot be used in any toolpath settings; some rules must be respected in the strategy page:

• the toolpath must be 2 ways; GO2cam cannot repeat toolpaths that contains Z retracts as in 1 way.

• the Z pass must be adjusted to ensure that toolpath is the same at each Z step.

Here is an example with the generation of a subprogram number O1000, called twice in the program (P1000).
