Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual Circular Profile Cycle, 165

Circular Profile Cycle

The Circular Profile Cycle cleans up the inside or outside profile of an existing circle.

When executed, the CNC rapids to Ramp#1 starting position, rapids to H (StartHgt), then feeds to the depth of the first cut.

The machine feeds into the profile along Ramp #1, cuts the circle to the specified D (Diameter) then ramps away from the work along Ramp #2.

When cutting an outside profile, the tool ramps into the work along Ramp #1 and away from the work along Ramp #2.

The Circular Profile Cycle automatically compensates for tool diameter. Activate the correct tool diameter before the cycle block.

Field	Code	Description
StartHgt	H	Z absolute starting (rapid) height (must be
		0.1” or 2 mm above surface to be cut into).
		Executed in rapid. (Required)
ZDepth	Z	Absolute depth of the finished profile.
		(Required)
Diameter	D	Finished diameter of circle. If you enter a
		negative value, both the direction of cut and
		the starting and endpoints reverse.
		(Required)
Ramp	R	Ramp distance used for each pass.
		(Required)
XCenter	X	X coordinate of the center. Default: Present
		position.
YCenter	Y	Y coordinate of the center. Default: Present
		position.
DepthCut	B	Z-axis increment used for each pass
ZFeed	I	Z-axis feedrate
