Parameter Description
Insertion The following insertion modes can be selected – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇ edge):
● Vertical
● Helical
● Oscillation
FZ (only for Depth infeed rate – (only for perpendicular insertion and ∇)
ShopMill)
FZ (only for G code) Depth infeed rate – (only for perpendicular insertion and ∇)
EP Maximum pitch of helix – (for helical insertion only)
ER Radius of helix – (for helical insertion only)
The radius cannot be any larger than the cutter radius; otherwise, material will remain.
EW Maximum insertion angle - (only for insertion with oscillation)
FS Chamfer width for chamfering (inc) - (for chamfering only)
ZFS Insertion depth of tool tip (abs or inc) - (for chamfering only)
* Unit of feedrate as programmed before the cycle call
Hidden parameters
The following parameters are hidden. They are pre-assigned fixed values or values that can
be adjusted using setting data.
Parameter Description
PL (only for G code) Machining plane
SC (only for G Safety clearance
code)
Starting point Starting point is automatically calculated - (only for ∇ and
∇∇∇ base)
Lift mode Lift mode before new infeed - (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇
edge)
Milling
Operating Manual, 08/2018, 6FC5398-7CP41-0BA0
The calculated actual infeed depth is machined at the calculated position.
Note:
This setting can be used only if the cutter can cut across center or if the pocket has
been predrilled.
The cutter center point traverses along the helical path determined by the radius and
depth per revolution (helical path). If the depth for one infeed has been reached, a
full circle motion is executed to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
The cutter center point oscillates back and forth along a linear path until it reaches
the depth infeed. When the depth has been reached, the path is traversed again
without depth infeed in order to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
