Description

FCT_DEFAULT

The functions FCT_FFM | FCT_PRESEGMENTATION | FCT_SPLINE | FCT_POLY | FCT_CAX | FCT_CAX_TRACK | FCT_SEGMENTATION are available.

FCT_FFM

Free-form surface mode, #HSC [OPMODE 1 CONTERR 0.01], #HSC [OPMODE 2]

FCT_PRESEGMENTATION

Linear pre-segmentation in HSC mode

FCT_SPLINE

#HSC[], AKIMA, B-Spline, G150/G151

FCT_POLY

#CONTOUR MODE[], G61, G261/G260

FCT_CAX

C axis processing, i.e. the spindle is embedded in the NC channel.

FCT_CAX_TRACK

#CAX TRACK, tracking an axis according to the contour angle

FCT_SEGMENTATION

For dynamic segmentation of the path contour, e.g. if the curvature of a polynomial segment varies significantly.

The following functions must also be enabled:

FCT_LIFT_UP

Automatic lifting/lowering of an axis (path-based coupling).
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_LIFT_UP

FCT_EMF

Edge machining (sharp angle contours).
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_EMF

FCT_EMF_POLY_OFF

Edge machining inactive with polynomials.

Contrary to the setting with FCT_EMF, edge signal generation is masked when path polynomial generation is active in the channel. Polynomials are generated for smoothing G261 or when B Spline is active. The resulting geometry is then tangential.

Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_EMF_POLY_OFF

FCT_SYNC

Synchronisation of an axis on a path group.
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_SYNC

FCT_PRECON

Optimised planning using #HSC[BSPLINE].
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_PRECON

FCT_LIFT_UP_TIME

Automatic lifting/lowering of an axis (time-based coupling).
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_LIFT_UP_TIME

FCT_PTP

Dynamically optimised contouring of the complete contour.
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_PTP

FCT_M_PRE_OUTPUT

Pre-output of M/H functions (microjoints).
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_M_PRE_OUTPUT

FCT_SURFACE

HSC machining with Surface Optimiser
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_SURFACE

FCT_SEG_CHECK

Block segmentation in combination with path-controlled offset of M functions (dwell time),
see P-CHAN-00650 and Description of parameters
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_SEG_CHECK

FCT_NIBBLING

Activate the nibbling function
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_NIBBLING

FCT_PUNCHING

Activate the punching function
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_PUNCHING

FCT_VSM

Activate the velocity smoothing function
Example: FCT_DEFAULT | FCT_VSM
as of V3.1.3079.21
