Acu-Rite CNC 3500i user manual Rectangular Profile Cycle, 167

Rectangular Profile Cycle

The Rectangular Profile Cycle cleans up the inside or outside profile of a rectangle. When run, the CNC rapids to the Ramp #1 starting position, rapids to H (Z StartHgt), and then feeds to the depth of the first cut.

The machine feeds into the profile along Ramp #1, cuts the rectangle to the M (Length) and W (Width) specified then ramps away from the work along Ramp #2.

When cutting an inside profile, the Graphic Menu displays ramp moves.

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

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

Field	Code	Description
Length	M	Finished length of rectangle. (Required)
Width	W	Finished width of rectangle. (Required)
StartHgt	H	The Absolute Z position before beginning to
		mill the pocket. This must be 0.1” (or 2 mm)
		above the surface. (Required)
ZDepth	Z	Absolute depth of the finished profile.
		(Required)
Ramp	R	Radius of the ramping moves. (Required)
Side	A	Setting for cutting on the inside of the
		profile (In) or the outside (Out). (Required)
		0=Inside, 1=Outside
XCenter	X	X coordinate of the center. If no coordinate
		is entered, the CNC centers the profile at its
		present position.
YCenter	Y	Y coordinate of the center. If no coordinate
		is entered, the CNC centers the profile at its
		present position.
