Parameter definition
The following input parameters are required to call the cycle:
Input parameters | Description |
@P1 | Reference plane (absolute) |
@P2 | Retraction plane (absolute) |
@P3 | Safety clearance in Z (relative to reference plane/machining height) |
@P4 | Depth (relative to reference plane) |
@P5 | Maximum infeed in Z |
@P6 | Maximum infeed in XY (maximum 2*V.G.WZ_AKT.R) |
@P44 | Number of edges (corners) |
@P71 | Radius of round blank |
@P72 | Edge length |
The following input parameters can be modified as an option:
Input parameters | Description |
@P13 (optional) | Safety clearance to blank in the XY plane (relative) Default value is the tool radius |
@P15 (optional) | Finishing allowance at base Default value = 0 |
@P16 (optional) | Finishing allowance at edge Default value = 0 |
@P20 (optional) | Feedrate for milling operation (specified in mm/min, inch/min) |
@P21 (optional) | Feedrate for infeed in Z (specified in mm/min, inch/min) |
@P22 (optional) | Feedrate for finishing for milling in the XY plane (specified in mm/min, inch/min) The default value is the feedrate for roughing |
@P23 (optional) | Feedrate for finishing for infeed in Z (specified in mm/min, inch/min) The default value is the feedrate for roughing |
@P30 (optional) | Machining direction 0: Down milling (default) 1: Up milling |
@P31 (optional) | Machining mode: 1: Roughing 2: Finishing 3: Roughing and finishing (default value) |
@P40 (optional) | Position of centre in X Default value is the current position |
@P41 (optional) | Position of centre in Y Default value is the current position |
@P42 (optional) | Angle of inclination of spigot Default value = 0 |
@P65 (optional) | Corner radius of spigot Default = 0 |
@P66 (optional) | Chamfer length of spigot (Alternative to corner radius) default value = 0 |
@P73 (optional) | Width across flats (alternative to corner length) |
The function of the parameters acting in the XY plane results from the graphic below:
The majority of parameters which mainly refer to the Z axis are displayed in the graphic below:
