WinMax Lathe Conversational Part Programming v546CO Conversational Part Programming 2-73
These fields appear based on your selection in the previous fields:
• ENABLE BLEND MOVES—enables automatic blend in and blend out for arcs.
This field is available for Left, Right, Profile Left, and Profile Right milling.
• POCKET TYPE—identifies the pocketing type when Pocket Boundary is
selected for the Milling Type.
• INWARD—cuts in from the edge of the defined boundary.
• OUTWARD—cuts from the center of the feature outward to the defined
boundary.
• POCKET OVERLAP (%)—controls the percentage of overlap during cutting.
This field is available when either Profile Left, Profile Right, or Pocket
Boundary is selected for the Milling Type.
• WALL ALLOWANCE—identifies the amount of material to leave along the
wall of the stock during roughing for cutting the final pass. The wall of the
stock is the side of the stock that is being cut. This field is not available when
• On is selected for the Milling Type.
• Finish Only is selected for the Strategy.
• FLOOR ALLOWANCE—identifies the amount of material to leave on the
bottom of the stock during roughing for cutting the final pass. This field is not
available when Finish Only is selected for the Strategy.
• BLEND OFFSET—identifies the XY distance from the entry point of the part
surface and the Z plunge point where the tool enters the work piece. This
move is always a 90° arc. This parameter is used for the blend-in move in
milling and for the blend-out move from the part surface to the Z Retract
point. The default value is 3.000 mm (0.1250 inches). This field is available
when Yes is selected for Enable Blend Moves.
• 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 Yes is selected for Enable Blend Moves.
• MAX OFFSET—defines the distance away from the programmed contour
where milling begins. This field is available when either Profile Left or Profile
Right 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.
