• MILL FEED—identifies the cutting feedrate. This value is carried forward for
the selected tool from Tool Setup. “CAL” appears next to the field. To accept
this value, select Enter. A different mill feed rate can be programmed for this
specific block.
• PLUNGE TYPE—identifies the type of plunge motion:
•STRAIGHT
•ZIG-ZAG
•RAPID
• PLUNGE FEED—identifies the feedrate between Z Start and Z Bottom.
• RAMP ANGLE—identifies the ramp angle for Zig-Zag plunge motion. This
field is available when Zig-Zag is selected for the Plunge Type.
• PECK DEPTH—identifies the maximum depth to be cut in one pass.
• SURFACE CLEARANCE—sets the distance above the Z (Axial) or X (Radial)
start point for the tool to move between passes to allow for rapid motions
back to the start point for the next pass.
This setting also applies when rapid motions are made to position for cutting
depths after the first depth.
Example:
In this example, the Z motion would be:
If a Feed value is changed in a milling data block, a pop-up message
appears asking if you want to change the corresponding Speed value
in the data block.
Surface Clearance = 1.27 mm (0.0500 in)
Z Start = 2.54 mm (0.1000 in)
Peck Depth = 5.08 mm (0.2000 in)
1. Rapid to 3.81 mm (0.15 in)
(Z Start + Surface Clearance)
2. Feed to -2.54 mm (-0.1 in) to machine first pass.
3. Rapid back to 3.81 mm (0.15 in)
(Z Start + Surface Clearance)
4. Rapid to -1.27 mm (-0.05 in)
(Depth of Previous pass + Surface Clearance)
5. Feed to -7.62 mm (-0.30 in) to machine second pass.
6. Rapid back to 3.81 mm (0.15 in)
(Z Start + Surface Clearance)
7. Rapid to -6.35 mm (-0.25 in)
(Depth of Previous pass + Surface Clearance)
8. Feed to -12.7 mm (-0.5 in) to machine third pass.
9. Rapid back to 3.81 mm (0.15 in)
(Z Start + Surface Clearance)
10.Repeat to final depth.
