Programming technological functions (cycles)
8.2 Milling
Parameter
Description
Technology
Vortex milling
•
The milling cutter performs circular motions along the length of the slot and back
again.
Plunge cutting
•
Sequential drilling motion along the tool axis.
Milling direction: - (except plunge cutting).
Climbing cutting
•
Conventional cutting
•
Climbing-conventional cutting
•
Machining
Single position
•
position
Mill a slot at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).
Position pattern
•
Mill slots at a programmed position pattern (e.g. full circle or grid).
The positions refer to the reference point:
X0
Reference point X – (for single position only)
Y0
Reference point Y – (for single position only)
Z0
Reference point Z – (only for single position and G Code position pattern)
W
Slot width
L
Slot length
α0
Angle of rotation of slot
Z1
Slot depth (abs) or depth relative to Z0 (abs) – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇, ∇∇∇ base and ∇∇∇
rough finishing)
DXY
Maximum plane infeed
•
Maximum plane infeed as a percentage of the milling cutter diameter
•
- (only for ∇)
DZ
Maximum depth infeed - (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ rough finishing, ∇∇∇ and ∇∇∇ edge)
- (only for vortex milling)
UXY
Plane finishing allowance (slot edge) - (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ rough finishing and ∇∇∇ base)
UZ
Depth finishing allowance (slot base) - (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ rough finishing and ∇∇∇ edge )
FS
Chamfer width for chamfering (inc) - (for chamfering only)
ZFS
Insertion depth of tool tip (abs or inc) - (for chamfering only)
