4.26 Milling Cycles
Approach and departure: For closed contours, the point of the
surface normal from the tool position to the first contour element is
the point of approach and departure. If no surface normal intersects
the tool position, the starting point of the first element is the point of
approach and departure. For figures, use D and V to select the
approach/departure element.
NF Position mark—reference from which the cycle reads the hole
positions [1 to 127].
O Plunging behavior (default: 0)
O=0: Vertical plunging
O=1: With predrilling
If NF is programmed: The cycle positions the milling
cutter above the first hole position saved in NF, then
plunges and mills the first section. If applicable, the cycle
positions the tool to the next hole position and mills the
next section, etc.
If NF is not programmed: The tool plunges at the current
position and mills the section. If required, repeat this
operation for the next section, etc.
Cycle run for milling
1 Starting position (X, Z, C) is the position before the cycle begins.
2 Calculates the milling depth infeeds.
3 Approaches to safety clearance.
If O=0: Infeed to the first milling depth.
If O=1: Plunges to the first milling depth.
4 Mills the contour.
5 For open contour and slots with slot width equal to the cutter
diameter: Moves at feed rate to the next milling depth, or
plunges at rapid to the next milling depth and mills the contour
in reverse direction.
For closed contours and slots: Lifts off by the safety clearance,
moves forward and approaches to the next milling depth, or
plunges to the next milling depth.
6 Repeats steps 4 and 5 until the complete contour is milled.
7 Returns to retraction plane RB.
