• Tool path

The side-face contour of pocket and island machining profiles is

finished. The tool path for it is the same as for contouring (side-face

finishing).

See descriptions about contouring (side-face finishing) for details.

The specifications for the following points differ in part, though.

No in-feed machining is performed in the tool radius direction or tool

axis direction.

Even if it is anticipated that the tool may interfere with a pocket or

island machining profile during finishing, no tool path that can avoid

interference is created.

Fixed Form Figure Blocks for Grooving (XY Plane)

As fixed form figures for grooving, a "square", "circle", "track", and

"radial grooves" are available. When any of these pattern figures is

specified, a groove with a specified width is cut along the contour.

NOTE

Each of a "square", "circle", and "track" is a closed

figure. In actual grooving, sets of a start point and

end point are determined, and cutting from the start

point to the end point of a set is repeated.
