Variable taper table

If the feature has multiple curves, select the appropriate curve from the Curve list. The curve is broken down into arc and line segments and each segment is represented by a row in the table. As you click a row of the table, the segment of the curve is highlighted in the graphics window. To find the row of the table that corresponds to a segment, click the Pick curve piece button and select the segment. The row of the table is then selected.

The columns of each table are:

Status — Select the type of wire EDM tapers.

First Angle — This is the taper angle, specified in degrees, for the first end point of the segment.

Second Angle — This is the taper angle, specified in degrees, for the second end point of the segment.

Taper reg — This is the register on the machine containing taper information for this segment.

Note: If you want smooth walls of your part, the angle of one segment must match the first angle of the next segment.
