ACU-RITE 3500i



The Rectangular Profile Cycle cleans up the inside or outside profile 
of a rectangle. When run, the CNC rapids to the Ramp #1 starting 
position, rapids to H (Z StartHgt), and then feeds to the depth of the 
first cut. 



The machine feeds into the profile along Ramp #1, cuts the 
rectangle to the M (Length) and W (Width) specified then ramps 
away from the work along Ramp #2.



When cutting an inside profile, the Graphic Menu displays ramp 
moves.



When cutting an outside profile, the tool ramps into the profile along 
Ramp #1 and away from the profile along Ramp #2.



The Rectangular Profile Cycle automatically compensates for tool 
diameter. Activate the correct tool diameter before the cycle block.
