Application Examples
Control & Software
Chip Breaking
- Oscillating movement of the feed axis results in air cutting, which leads to effective chip size reduction
- For external longitudinal turning of internal and external diameters, facing, drilling and grooving*
- Integrated safety function checks plausibility of parameter entries
* For inclined surfaces, a step pattern results because the feed can only be oscillated in one axis at a time.
