Parameterising contouring modes in the NC program (#CONTOUR MODE)

Before the actual activation of polynomial contouring (G61/G261), the individual options are parameterised by the NC command #CONTOUR MODE.

Depending on the contour mode, specific keywords are provided for parameterisation. The command has the following syntax structure:

#CONTOUR MODE [<contour_mode> <parameter> <action> ]

<contour_mode>

DEV

Contouring with corner deviation (default)

 

DIST

Contouring with corner distance

DIST_SOFT

Dynamic optimised contouring

DIST_MASTER

Dynamic optimised contouring with master axis

POS

Contouring with interim point

PTP

Dynamically optimised contouring of the contour.

<Parameter>

PATH_DEV

TRACK_DEV

...

Caution:

The parameters for deviations and tolerances must always be specified in [mm, inch] or [°]. When specifying in [inch], please refer to the note in P-CHAN-00439.

<action>

PRE_ACTION

 

Execute M/H actions related to the contouring curve
