Equidistant

Equidistant finishing is intended for machining relatively regular shaped parts. The machining is determined by a reference curve which can be the machining area. The path is parallel to the reference curve.

• Constant XY Scallop over the entire piece.

• Only one cycle to finish the whole piece.

• Very few Z lifts.

• The choice of machining guide curves offers many possibilities to the programmer.
