...
On a closed path, this moves the entry / exit point to the midpoint of the path’s first segment of the toolpath.
...
Closed loop overlap
On a closed path, this extends the start and end of the path an equal distance to cause an overlap. Only positive values are permitted.
...
Use entry parameters for exit
Uses entry values as the exit parameters. The Exit option must also be enabled to use this optionThe exit path will be generated based on entry parameters.
Entry and exit parameters
These parameters can be applied to entry or exit paths.
Type
Defines entry or exit geometry.
...
Ramp height can also be used with Arc arc entry or exit paths.
This option is not recommended for plasma cutting.
...
Only available for linear entry / exit types (Perpendicular or Tangent). This adjusts the entry or exit path by a specified angle.
...
Arc radius
For Arc arc style entry or exit paths, this is the radius of the arc. Use this to control the size of the entry or exit.
...
For arc entry or exit paths, this is the angular distance to sweep the arc sweeps , from the connecting intersecting point on the tool pathtoolpath.
...
Line length
Used with linear entry or exit, defines length in mm of entry or exit motion. Negative values are not permitted.
...
A negative value will move the entry / exit back away from the intersection point, leaving undertravel or a gap in the base toolpath.
...
Note that on curved toolpaths, the extension follows a tangent line, it does not follow contour of the toolpath.
...
Normalize direction
This option is available for plasma cutting only.
When enabled, the vector of approach will be perpendicular to the healed surface geometry, at the start of the entry. This will ensure that the pierce occurs with the plasma torch perpendicular to the workpiece. After piercing, the vector gradually transitions to the cut path vector, as defined with in Fanning distance.
...
When cleared, the vector of approach will be parallel to the cut path vector.
Note that using Normalize direction requires that the Projection option (on the Path Parameters page for plasma cutting) is set to Automatic or one of the other options that will create “healed” CAD geometry in Robotmaster.
Fanning distance
This option is available for plasma cutting only.
Fanning distance
When the Normalize direction option is enabled, Fanning distance controls the distance length of the transition from the initial pierce vector until the entry or exit vector is parallel to the cut path vector.(image)
...
Set this to Automatic to transition gradually along the entire length of the entry or exit.
This option is available for plasma cutting only.
