Area milling - finishing G842
G842 finishes surfaces defined with G376-Geo (XY plane) or G386-
Geo (YZ plane). The cycle mills from the outside toward the inside.
The tool moves to the working plane outside of the workpiece
material.
Parameters:
ID: Milling contour – name of the milling contour
NS: Block number of contour – reference to the contour
description
P: Milling depth – maximum infeed in the working plane
H: Mill cutting direction for side finishing (default: 0)
0: Up-cut
1: Climb
U: Overlap factor – defines the overlap of milling paths (default:
0.5) (range: 0 to 0.99)
Overlap = U * milling diameter
V: Overrun factor – defines the distance by which the tool
should pass the outside radius of the workpiece (default: 0.5)
Overrun = V * milling diameter
F: Approach feed for plunging (default: active feed rate)
RB: Return plane (default: back to start position)
XY plane: Retraction position in Z direction
YZ plane: Return position in X direction (diameter)
Cycle run
1
Start position (X, Y, Z, C) is the position before the cycle begins
2 Calculates the number of cutting passes (infeeds to the milling
planes, infeeds in the milling depths)
3 Move to the safety clearance and plunge to the first milling
depth.
4 Mill the first plane.
5 Retract by the safety clearance, return and cut to the next
milling depth.
6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the complete area is milled.
7
Returns to Return plane RB
