Lead in and Lead out in XY
Cycle: Contouring, Contour rework, Slotting, Chamfering, Taper cutting, Profile cutting, Chamfering
Definition
This box allows you to regulate the tool approach in rapid speed.
There is now an updated user interface for the Lead in/ Lead out parameters. |  |
A. Lead in angle |  |
A. Lead in angle
Lead in angle together with lead in length define the lead in movement of the tool in feed rate. This movement is necessary for the tool to take its diameter compensation ( G41 or G42 ). The value of the lead in angle is between 0 and 90 degrees.
It is the lead in angle value of the tool. If the offset or the Toolpath is at the Left or to the Right, the angle is given in absolute value relative to the first element.
If there is no offset (center position) and if the toolpath is in Part position, the angle is given in absolute value according to the counterclockwise circle.
The length is given by the lead in length.
B. Lead in length
The value for lead in length must be greater than the radius of the tool. This value is based on the angle line, not on X or Y.
C. Lead out angle
Like lead in angle and length, lead out angle together with lead out length define the lead out movement. This movement is necessary to cancel the diameter compensation of the tool. The value of the lead out angle is between 0 and 90 degrees.
It is the lead out angle value of the tool. If the offset or the toolpath is at the Left or to the Right, the angle is given in absolute value relative to the first element.
If there is no offset (center position) and if the toolpath is in Part position, the angle is given in absolute value according to the counterclockwise circle.
The length is given by the lead out length.
D. Lead out length
The value for lead out length must be greater than the radius of the tool. This value is based on the angle line, not on X or Y.
