Profiling cycle
3.11.6 Basic operation at levels 1 and 2. ZX profile
The machining steps in this cycle are as follows:
1. If the operation has been programmed with another tool, the CNC will change the tool and will
move to the change position if so required by the machine.
2. The spindle starts with the speed selected and in the direction stated.
3. The tool approaches in rapid up to the starting point, (X, Z) keeping the safety distance selected
as per axes X and Z.
4. Roughing operation, with successive passes, up to a distance from the profile equal to the
finishing stock.
This operation is carried out under the conditions set for the roughing operation.
5. Finishing operation.
If the finishing operation has been programmed with another tool, the CNC will change the tool
and will move to the change position if so required by the machine.
The finishing of the part is carried out with the machining conditions set for finishing; feedrate
of the axes (F), spindle speed (S) and turning direction.
6. Once the operation or cycle has ended, the tool will return to the position it occupied when calling
the cycle; i.e. to the point where [START] was pressed.
When executing an entire part, combination of operations or cycles, the tool does not return to
that point after executing each cycle.
7. The CNC stops the spindle, but it keeps the machining conditions set; tool (T), feedrate of the
axes (F) and spindle speed (S).
Considerations
How to leave out the roughing or finishing operations.
By selecting T0 as the roughing tool, the cycle does not execute the roughing operation. This means
that after approaching the finishing operation will be carried out.
By selecting T0 as the finishing tool, the cycle does not execute the finishing operation. In other
words, after the roughing operation, the tool will move to the approach point maintaining the safety
distance from the starting point (X, Z).
