148 Fixed Cycles: Pocket Milling / Stud Milling / Slot Milling
5.3 CIRCULAR POCKET (Cycle 252, DIN/ISO: G252)
Cycle parameters
U Machining operation (0/1/2) Q215: Define the
machining operation:
0: Roughing and finishing
1: Only roughing
2: Only finishing
Side finishing and floor finishing are only executed if
the finishing allowances (Q368, Q369) have been
defined.
U Circle diameter Q223: Diameter of the finished
pocket. Input range 0 to 99999.9999
U Finishing allowance for side Q368 (incremental):
Finishing allowance in the working plane. Input range
0 to 99999.9999
U Feed rate for milling Q207: Traversing speed of the
tool during milling in mm/min. Input range: 0 to
99999.999; alternatively FAUTO, FU, FZ
U Climb or up-cut Q351: Type of milling operation with
M3:
+1 = climb milling
–1 = up-cut milling
Alternatively PREDEF
U Depth Q201 (incremental): Distance between
workpiece surface and bottom of pocket. Input range:
-99999.9999 to 99999.9999
U Plunging depth Q202 (incremental): Infeed per cut.
Enter a value greater than 0. Input range 0 to
99999.9999
U Finishing allowance for floor Q369 (incremental):
Finishing allowance in the tool axis. Input range 0 to
99999.9999
U Feed rate for plunging Q206: Traversing speed of
the tool while moving to depth in mm/min. Input
range: 0 to 99999.999; alternatively FAUTO, FU, FZ.
U Infeed for finishing Q338 (incremental): Infeed per
cut. Q338=0: Finishing in one infeed. Input range 0 to
99999.9999
