Parameterisation

Required input parameters:

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

@P50

Identification number of the path contour

Optional input parameters:

Input parameters

Description

@P6

Infeed in XY to remove the additional roughing allowance (@P95).

The default value is the current tool radius

(Maximum V.G.WZ_AKT.R is recommended to avoid residual material)

@P15

Finishing allowance at base

Default value = 0

@P16

Finishing allowance at edge (only when tool radius compensation is active @P75)

Default value = 0

@P20

Feed rate for roughing for milling in the XY plane (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

@P21

Feed rate for infeed in Z (values in mm/min, inch/min)

@P22

Feed rate for finishing for milling in the XY plane (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

The default value is the feed rate for roughing

@P23

Feed rate for finishing for infeed in Z (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

The default value is the feed rate for finishing for milling in the XY plane

@P25

Spindle speed for finishing

@P30

Machining direction

"ClimbMilling" or 0: Down milling (default)

"UpCutMilling" or 1: Up milling

@P31

Machining mode:

"Roughing" or 1: Roughing

"Finishing" or 2: Finishing

"Roughing+Finishing" or 3: Roughing and finishing (default value)

@P32

Feed mode in Z

1: Vertical at start and end of machining movement (default value)

2: In space during approach and withdrawal movements

@P75

Tool radius compensation

"TrcOff" or 0: Off (default value)

"TrcLeft" or 1: Left of path contour

"TrcRight" or 2: Right of path contour

@P90

Approach movement

"MotionNone" or 0: No approach movement (default value)

"MotionLinear" or 1: Straight line:

"MotionQuarterCircle" or 2: Quadrant

"MotionHalfCircle" or 3: Semicircle

@P91

Length (straight line) / radius (quadrant/semicircle) of the approach movement

Default value = 0

@P92

Withdrawal movement

"MotionNone" or 0: No withdrawal movement (default value)

"MotionLinear" or 1: Straight line:

"MotionQuarterCircle" or 2: Quadrant

"MotionHalfCircle" or 3: Semicircle

@P93

Length (straight line) / radius (quadrant/semicircle) of the withdrawal movement

Default value = 0

@P95

Additional roughing allowance (results in removal of the contour path multiple times)

Default value = 0

@P135

Maximum infeed in XY for edge finishing

The default value is the current tool radius
