Process
l The tool penetrates the workpiece at the starting position (pocket
center) and advances to the first infeed depth.
l The tool subsequently follows a spiral path at the specified feed rate
(see Fig. 8.18). The stepover factor is determined by the value of k (see
Cycle 4 PECKING).
l This process is repeated until the programmed depth is reached.
l At the end of the cycle the tool returns to the starting position.
Input data
l SET-UP CLEARANCE @ (incremental value):
Distance between tool tip (starting position) and workpiece surface
l MILLING DEPTH @I: (incremental value):
Distance between workpiece surface and bottom of hole.
l PECKING DEPTH 0: (incremental value):
lnfeed per cut. The TNC moves in one operation to the
DEPTH if:
- PECKING DEPTH and DEPTH are identical
- the PECKING DEPTH is greater than the DEPTH.
Enter a positive value.
l FEED RATE FOR PECKING:
Traversing speed of the tool during penetration.
l CIRCLE RADIUS @:
Radius of the circular pocket.
l FEED RATE F:
Traversing speed of the tool in the working plane.
l ROTATION CLOCKWISE: DR- ?
