Calculated Plunge Points for Axial 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 Axial 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.
