Z repeat

Cycle: Facing Pocket

Definition

This option enables the programming of 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. Please contact the local reseller to get the modification done.

Prerequisite

This option cannot be used in any toolpath settings; there are rules to be respected in the strategy page:

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

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

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