Rout Start_point Line_ep Endpath ((better)): Biesse Cix Macro

1. Executive Summary The Biesse CIX macro routing cycle is a parametric subroutine designed for high-speed, repetitive edge routing, grooving, or profiling on nested-based CNC routers (e.g., Rover C, Rover K, Arrow). The three critical parameters— start_point , line_ep (line end point), and endpath —define the geometric, kinematic, and safety behavior of a linear routing operation. Proper configuration directly impacts cycle time, tool life, edge quality, and collision avoidance. 2. Macro Architecture (CIX Context) A typical CIX macro call for a straight rout looks like:

| Value | Meaning | Behavior | |-------|---------|----------| | 0 | Immediate lift | G00 Z_safe straight up at line_ep . Fastest but can leave a vertical drag mark. | | 1 | Tangential arc out | Macro adds an arc (G02/G03) to move tool away from the part edge before lifting. Best for finished edges. | | 2 | Linear overshoot | Continues straight past line_ep by a defined safety distance (e.g., 10 mm), then lifts. | | 3 | Ramp & lift | Retracts in Z while moving in X/Y to create a smooth exit ramp – used for deep profiles. | | 10..99 | Custom user-defined exit | Reads additional variables (e.g., exit_angle , exit_length ) from the macro’s parameter table. | biesse cix macro rout start_point line_ep endpath
