HEIDENHAIN TNC 426, TNC 430 271
8.4 Cycles for milling pockets, studs and slots
U Set-up clearance 1 (incremental value): Distance
between tool tip (at starting position) and workpiece
surface
U Milling depth 2 (incremental value): Distance
between workpiece surface and bottom of pocket
U Plunging depth 3 (incremental value): Infeed per cut.
The tool will drill to the depth in one operation if:
n the plunging depth is equal to the depth
n the plunging depth is greater than the depth
U Feed rate for plunging: Traversing speed during
penetration
U 1st side length 4: Slot length; specify the sign to
determine the first milling direction
U 2nd side length 5: Slot width
U Feed rate F: Traversing speed of the tool in the
working plane
