Cycle: Contouring
The Input altitude parameter consists of four options:
|
Standard: top Z and bottom Z correspond to the tool pilot point. |
|
On bottom of shape: to machine profiles with a Z evolution on the bottom of the shape. Below is a video showing an example of machining a ramp using this option. |
|
Cavity: for Side Face Mill Cutter and Woodruff, the machining is strictly done between the two altitudes by respecting pilot points and tool height. |
|
On tool top: for Side Face Mill Cutter and Woodruff, the machining is done according to the top pilot point. |
