Brush Area: Circle
Brush Area Circle causes the tip to „paint‟ the defined area by following a spiral path from
the outside limit of the circle to the center of the circle. It works in reverse of the Circle 1
function.
After registering the Brush Area Circle command, jog the tip to a point on the outside limit
of the circle to be brushed and register that location as a Line Start point. Then jog the tip
directly across to the center of the circle and register that location as a Line End point (the
tip will not dispense a straight line between these two points):
If, for example, a brush width of 5 mm was used, the tip will take the following path when
the program is run:
An open or closed option is also available for this function. Selecting the Closed option will
make a whole circle first before making the spiral. Selecting the Open option will make the
spiral without closing the outer circle.
Closed Circle:
Creates a circle first
then a spiral from the outside to the
center.
