P/N 634 755-22 - Four-Axis Programming
Example 1: Drill
Mount the fourth axis as described above. Mount a part 6-inches wide
and 8-inches long on the face of the rotary table. shortestDistance is
set to off.
Table 6-1 shows a drilling example. You must drill ten 0.375-inch holes
36-degrees apart, 1-inch deep, 0.75-inches in from the end of the
cylinder. Then, starting at X-2 U0, drill a spiral series of holes 36-degrees
and X-0.500 inches apart each. Set X0 at the right end, Y0 at the
cylinder's centerline, U0 at a pre-milled keyway on the cylinder. Measure
tool offsets from the top of the cylinder, with Y-axis at 0.
