Offset method — This controls whether the offsetting of the wire path is performed on the machine using cutter compensation or by FeatureCAM. Select Cutter comp to perform the offsetting on the machine, or Offset Toolpath if you want FeatureCAM to perform the offsetting.
Passate totali — Inserire il numero totale di passate da eseguire per tagliare la feature. Se una feature ha un'operazione di uscita, stop, troncatura, queste operazioni sono tutte eseguite Passate totali - Passate contorno. Se una feature ha un'operazione di contorno, Passate totali deve essere almeno 2. Passate totali deve essere un valore compreso tra 1 e 9.
Passate contorno — È il numero di passate da eseguire per l'operazione di contornatura per un'operazione di uscita, stop o contorno.
Uni-directional — Applies to Contour, Stop, Retract, and Cutoff operations that use the Offset Method of Cutter Comp.
For multiple passes, the cutting direction for each following pass is not reversed and all passes take place in the defined direction. At the end of each pass the wire is cut and the machine re-positions to the start point for the next pass.
Uses Macro if available
Applies to Contour, Stop, Retract and Cutoff operations that use the Offset Method of Cutter Comp. Available for 2-axis features only.
This option activates the automatic creation of sub-programs for the machining of operations. You must define the format and output of sub-programs in the post processor. The use of sub-programs is useful when producing chain programs. In this case, each machining contour is written to a separate sub-program. The main calling program then contains only the movements required to move to the next start point.
For multiple pass, if the Uni-Directional option is enabled then only a single macro is output containing a single pass.
Total stock — This is the default for the total stock feature attribute.
Contour stock — This the default for the contour stock attribute.
Stepover — This is the default attribute for the stepover feature attribute. This default attribute is specified as a percentage of the wire diameter. This parameter defines the stepover between passes for Cutoff, Stop, Retract, and Contour operations.
Prima taglia tutte le operazioni su ciascuna curva — Per feature con più curve, attivare questa opzione per eseguire tutte le operazioni su ciascuna curva prima di passare alla curva successiva. Se l'opzione è disattivata, viene eseguita su tutte le curve la prima operazione, poi l'operazione successiva e così via.
Cut the first pass on each curve first — For features with multiple curves, select this option to cut all the passes for one curve before moving on to the next curve.
Leave allowance is the amount of material to leave after the Retract, Cutoff, Stop, and Contour operations.
