Hurco winmax - Calculated Plunge Points for Radial Circles

2 - 92 Conversational Part Programming v546CO WinMax Lathe Conversational Part Programming
• BLEND OVERLAP—identifies the distance the tool travels past the entry
point before exiting from the part. The default value is 3.000 mm (0.1250
inches). This field is available when either Inside, Outside, or Pocket
Boundary is selected for the Milling Type.
• DIRECTION—identifies the milling direction as either Conventional or Climb.
This field is not available when On is selected for the Milling Type. Refer to
Cutter Compensation, on page 2 - 188 for details about milling direction.
• PECK DEPTH—identifies the maximum depth to be cut in one pass. This field
is not available when Finish Only is selected for the Strategy.
• 1ST PECK OFFSET—identifies the depth of the first peck when it needs to be
different than subsequent pecks, identified in Peck Depth. This field is not
available when Finish Only is selected for the Strategy.
• PECK CLEARANCE—identifies the distance above the previous peck level to
which the Z axis returns at rapid traverse. This field is not available when
Finish Only is selected for the Strategy.
Calculated Plunge Points for Radial Circles
Calculations for determining the plunge points for milling cycles are for TMM, TMX MY,
and TMX MYS Series machines. The following examples are for Radial Circles and Climb
Milling.
The Blend-in move is a 90° arc and occurs at the 3:00 position on the circle.
Pocket Type Inward
Xplunge = Xcenter + Circle radius - Blend Offset - Tool radius.
Yplunge = Ycenter - Blend Offset
Pocket Type Outward
Xplunge = Xcenter + Circle radius +Blend Offset + Tool radius
Yplunge = Ycenter + Blend Offset
Roughing
To determine the plunge points for roughing passes, subtract the Wall Allowance from the
Xplunge.
