Cone as helical movement
NC1075
NC program for milling a cone (truncated cone). The tool follows a helical path. You the define all required parameters in the program. The control uses them to calculate the tool path. The path consists of individual straight line segments for which the control defines the end points in the X, Y and Z axes. By defining the parameters you also specify how the operation is to be executed. For example, it is possible to define outside or inside machining, the machining direction as downward or upward, or to define the rotational direction of machining.
