3.12 Usage Description of Radial Cutting


Facer Mechanism Selecting
Rotated cutting facer (spin axis is used) and multiple-unit
cutter (linear Y axis is used) are used in Lathe tool selecting. In
radial cutting facer mechanism, practical X and Y axes are
combined to form virtual X axis, which contributes rapid tool
changing speed.

3.12.1 Setting Description


1. In the conversational interface, “execute processing
(F4)” ->“tool setting(F5)”->”radial cutting facer
angle(F5)” to set tool angle. The default value of tool
angle is 0.
2. After tool angle setting completes, the control system of
automatic processing, manual pulse generator, JOG,
teaching etc. are all compatible with the functions
without radial cutting facer mechanism. Since the
cylindrical workpiece is symmetric in shape, the tool
operating manner shall be exactly the same no matter in
which direction tool positions. The mechanism
transformation transforms physical axis (X, Y, Z) to
virtual axis (X’, Y’, Z’) which an operator is used to.
(As shown below)
