Program steps and cycles | Recess cycles
Tool path description:
Machining of the recess begins at side defined by the From
point and machines towards the To point side
The tool initially moves to the center of the recess, offset by the
Clearance distance
The roughing passes are optional. When the roughing feed rate
is 0, the rough passes are skipped.
The depth of each rough pass is determined by the system and
will not exceed the specified Pass value
The Recess is machined at the feed rate programmed in the
step. When the tool plunges directly into the material at full
width, the full cut override is applied to the feed.
If a Finish allowance is specified, the programmed amounts are
left on the X and Z surfaces to be removed on the finish pass
The tool returns to the Start Point after completing the rough
passes
The Finish pass is optional. If finish Feed is 0, the Finish pass is
skipped
The tool returns to the Start Point after the Finish pass
completes
If the approach move interferes with the part or
fixturing, it may be necessary to program a Position
step to position the tool on the proper side of the part or
fixture prior to the Recess step.
Recess contour
The Recess Contour step is used to machine an irregular contour
using a recess tool.
The Recess Contour step must be programmed immediately
following the last step of the contour path. The control indicates a
continuous path with a solid line to the right of the applicable step
in the program list.
From the PGM screen, press the RECESS key to access the
Recess popup menu
Select Recess Contour from the popup menu
