Cutting Cycles

 

Cycle Selection

Sixty cutting cycles are available in Router-CIM, each designed for a slightly different purpose. Cycles are selected by clicking the cycle icon in the Control Panel. The Cycle Selection screen will appear. Select a cycle by either double-clicking to make it the current cycle, or by clicking a cycle once and clicking OK on the bottom of the screen. After picking a cycle from this list you will return to the Control Panel, where the center column shows the parameters required by that cycle.

 

Each of the four Cycle screens can show up to 16 cycles. You may toggle back and forth between the four cycle screens with the Next and Previous buttons.

To understand the data that must be input to make each cycle work correctly, we need to analyze each cycle along with the Cycle Information column. The cycles may be broken into common groups which require similar inputs in the Cycle Information column.
