9.2 SL Cycles with Simple Contour Formula
9.2 SL Cycles with Simple Contour
Formula
Fundamentals
SL cycles and the simple contour formula enable you to form contours
by combining up to 9 subcontours (pockets or islands) in a simple
manner. You define the individual subcontours (geometry data) as
separate programs. In this way, any subcontour can be used any
number of times. The TNC calculates the contour from the selected
subcontours.
Properties of the subcontours
By default, the TNC assumes that the contour is a pocket. Do not
program a radius compensation.
The TNC ignores feed rates F and miscellaneous functions M.
Coordinate transformations are allowed. If they are programmed
within the subcontour they are also effective in the following
subprograms, but they need not be reset after the cycle call.
Although the subprograms can contain coordinates in the spindle
axis, such coordinates are ignored.
The working plane is defined in the first coordinate block of the
subprogram. The secondary axes U,V,W are permitted.

The memory capacity for programming an SL cycle (all
contour description programs) is limited to 128 contours.
The number of possible contour elements depends on the
type of contour (inside or outside contour) and the number
of contour descriptions. You can program up to 16384
elements.
