Process

Enter the parameters for workpiece surface, engraving depth, feedrates, text, font size etc. The cycle then engraves the specified text onto the workpiece.

Programing Example

Engrave call sequence

; Call engrave cycle

L CYCLE [NAME  = "SysMillEngrave.ecy"                    \

          @P1  = 0               ( workpiece surface ) \

          @P2  = 2               ( retraction plane       ) \

          @P3  = 1               ( safety height  ) \

          @P4  = 0.2             ( engraving depth  ) \

          @P11 = 2000            ( feedrate infeed ) \

          @P12 = 1000            ( engraving feedrate ) \

          @P21 = "ISG kernel"    ( Text                ) \

          @P53 = 2               ( font size        ) \

        ]

This cycle call engraves the text “ISG kernel” on the workpiece surface. The line width of the letters is given by the radius of the tool used.

A maximum of 4 systems may be active or defined when the cycle is called to ensure that sufficient machining coordinate systems (#CS) are available for the cycle.
