Entry Mode

Define the mode of entry to the start point of the toolpath.

The Entry Mode parameter is only displayed in the Rough Parallel and Rough Spiral procedures (in the Entry & End Points section of the Procedure Parameter Table).

Optimized

The entry mode is optimized to select the shortest machining time - plunging time (plunge length x plunge feed) is compared with slotting time (slot length x slot feed).

By Length

Define the maximum distance to search for a valid air plunge point. Enter this value into the parameter Max. Entry Length, which is displayed when By Length is selected.

Max. Entry Length

Enter the maximum distance to search for a valid air plunge point. This parameter is displayed when By Length is selected.

No Plunging

Entry can only be performed using horizontal movements (slotting). If this is impossible, entry is cancelled.

In this case, the Ramp Angle is given a value of 0.000 degrees.

Drilling

The entry movements are performed using drilling motions.

In this case, the Ramp Angle is given a value of 90.000 degrees.
