Approach - Homag

 

Homag machining

 

Enter the approach mode.

 

Four modes can be selected for the approach.

Tangential

Lateral

Vertical

No checks

 

Tangential 

 

 

The processing start/end point selected is adjusted by a value. Approach and withdrawal take place in a straight line, whereby the direction of the track corresponds to the angle of the first and/or last contour element. The track extension value is calculated automatically, based on the collision radius of the tool.

 

Enter the value 0

 

Lateral 

 

 

Approach and withdrawal take place in a quarter circle laterally from the workpiece.

The size of the radius depends on the collision radius of the tool and is determined automatically.

 

Enter the value 1

 

Vertical 

 

 

The tool lifts/lowers precisely at the defined start or end point of processing in the Z direction.

 

Enter the value 2

 

No checks 

 

 

The approach and withdrawal paths must be defined as a contour. The approach and withdrawal mode is executed "vertically." No tool ID number check is performed in this mode.

 

Enter the value 3
