Generation of new traverse paths
Calculate lateral values
Lateral values are calculated with this option. A lateral offset occurs when an upper bevel is cut.
Contour type without lateral offset
No lateral offset is generated on this type of contour. With this type of contour, the head remains at the previously set angle.
Tangential transition to angle change
The value up to which a tangential transition is to be generated is entered here.
Rounding non-tangential transitions
Transitions that are not tangential are rounded.
Use optical offset
With this option, superimposed individual machining operations are optically offset so that both operations can be selected. The optical offset should be chosen as small as possible, as this offset is transmitted to the machine.
Value for the optical offset
The value for the optical offset is entered here.
Use multi-torch unit
This option is intended for production with a multi-torch unit. The machine must have at least 2 heads. This makes it possible, for example, to cut the upper and lower bevel of an X-bevel simultaneously.
Corner transition
Generate a new triangle/loop at the transition from upper bevel to upper bevel
The corner is only newly generated at the transition between two upper bevels.
Generate a new triangle/loop at the transition to lower bevel
The corner is only re-generated at the transition between two lower bevels.
Generate new triangle/loop for all remaining transitions
The corner is re-generated at all transitions, except at the transition between two upper bevels and between two lower bevels.
Lead-in path/lead-out path
Use torch cutting parameters for element centre
With this option, the torch cutting parameters set for the element centre are used to form the lead-in path.
Use torch cutting parameters for outside corner
With this option, the torch cutting parameters set for the outside corner are used to form the lead-in path.
Variable bevels
Split arcs
Here, an arc is split into small elements to achieve a more accurate result when calculating the lateral offset. This results in higher accuracy, since many single points are used for the calculation.
Min. opening angle (original arc)
The minimum opening angle of the original arc to be split is entered here.
Circumference (splitting element)
Here, you enter the circumference of a resulting split arc.
