Parametrisation
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 of slot (relative to reference plane) |
@P5 | Maximum infeed in Z |
@P6 | Maximum infeed in XY plane (Maximum 2*V.G.WZ_AKT.R) |
@P44 | Number of slots |
@P72 | Length of slot |
@P73 | Width of slot |
@P74 | Circle radius of centre point positions |
The following input parameters can be modified as an option:
Input parameters | Description |

@P9 (optional) | Plunge angle for oscillating infeed in Z Default value = 2 degrees |
@P13 (optional) | Safety clearance on retraction in XY plane (relative to milled edge) Default value is 1/8 of slot width |
@P15 (optional) | Finishing allowance at base Default value = 0 |
@P16 (optional) | Finishing allowance at edge Default value = 0 |
@P20 (optional) | Feedrate for roughing for milling in the XY plane (specified in mm/min, inch/min) |
@P21 (optional) | Feedrate for roughing for infeed in Z (specified in mm/min, inch/min) |
@P22 (optional) | Feedrate for finishing for infeed in Z (specified in mm/min, inch/min) The default value is the feedrate for roughing |
@P23 (optional) | Feedrate for finishing for milling in the XY plane (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 |

@P40 (optional) | Position of circle centre point in X (absolute) Default value is the current position |
@P41 (optional) | Position of circle centre point in Y (absolute) Default value is the current position |
@P45 (optional) | Starting angle of first slot (in degrees) Default value = 0 |
@P46 (optional) | Incremental angle (in degrees) Default value = 360°/number of slots |
The function of the parameters acting in the XY plane is derived largely from the graphic below:
Parameters which mainly refer to the Z axis are displayed in the graphic below:
