DOC2.3.5 MACHINING PARAMETERS (ADVANCED)

The Machining parameters (advanced) button allows users to check and change various parameters.

Profile types

The first operation is to select the profile type to be used:

	Linear A linear cut is performed.
	Curved A curved cut is performed.

The following parameters can then be set:

Machining	This can be cutting or sweeping.
Machining orientation	Machining can be performed vertically or horizontally.
Profile direction	Along X or Y.

The following parameters can be set for a Linear profile:

Material thickness	Defines the material thickness measurement (in mm).
Profile inclination (mm)	Defines the profile inclination by specifying the height difference between the end point and the start point.

For a Curved profile, the parameters configured in the previous steps are available.

Both profiles also have the following machining data in common:

Step	Fixed in Y: maintains a fixed distance between the cuts regardless of the underlying section. Along the chord: the step refers to the distance between the contact points on the section, so the movement changes according to the section slope.
Cut direction	Choose between “Y_” and “Y-“.
Complete profile machining	Selects whether or not to machine the entire profile.
Force cuts at corners	Adds cuts at points where the slope changes.
Remove overlapping cuts	If this flag is enabled and the “Step” value is greater than the “Thickness” value, overlapping cuts are removed.
Optimised step (dressing) % Overlap	If the “Step” value is less than the “Thickness” value, the step is optimised on horizontal lines.
Perform cut at start	Selects whether or not to perform a cut at the start of the profile. The depth of this cut can be set using the adjacent box.
Perform cut at end	Selects whether or not to perform a cut at the end of the profile. The depth of this cut can be set using the adjacent box.

The screen displays data already configured in the previous steps and tool-specific parameters.

Tool description	A brief description of the tool.
	Tool magazine Opening this panel allows users to manage the tools: new tools can be created, existing tools can be edited, their order in the list can be changed and they can be removed.
Position No.	Indicates the position number of the selected tool in the magazine.
Corrector No.	Indicates the number that identifies the name of the selected tool.
Blade core thickness (SA)	Thickness of the blade's central supporting body.
Tooth shape	The operator can choose one of three tooth shapes: Square Spherical Chamfered (the chamfer values can be defined in this case)
	Select material This button, located immediately to the left of the penetration speed value, allows users to select one of the following materials: Granites with a high quartz content Granites with a low quartz content Marble Travertine Sandstones
Priority	A priority value can be set (it must be positive).
Depth	Indicates the tool cutting depth.
