Parameter Description
Machining The following machining operations can be selected:
● ∇ (roughing)
● ∇∇∇ (finishing)
● ∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)
● Chamfering
Machining type
● Plane-by-plane
Machine circular pocket plane-by-plane
● Helical
Machine circular pocket using helical type
X0
Y0
Z0
The positions refer to the reference point:
Reference point X – (single position only)
Reference point Y – (single position only)
Reference point Z – (only single position and G Code position pattern)
mm
mm
mm
∅ Diameter of pocket mm
Z1 Depth referred to Z0 (inc) or pocket depth (abs) - (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ or ∇∇∇ edge) mm
DXY
● Maximum plane infeed
● Maximum plane infeed as a percentage of the milling cutter diameter
- (only for ∇ and ∇∇∇)
mm
%
DZ Maximum depth infeed – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ or ∇∇∇ edge) mm
UXY Plane finishing allowance – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ or ∇∇∇ edge) mm
UZ Depth finishing allowance – (only for ∇ or ∇∇∇) mm
Insertion Various insertion modes can be selected – (only for plane-by-plane machining method
and for ∇, ∇∇∇ and ∇∇∇ edge):
● Predrilled (only for G code)
● Perpendicular: Insert vertically at the center of pocket
The tool executes the calculated depth infeed vertically at the center of the pocket.
Feedrate: Infeed rate as programmed under FZ
● Helical: Insert along helical path
The cutter center point traverses along the helical path determined by the radius and
depth per revolution. If the depth for one infeed has been reached, a full circle motion
is executed to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
Feedrate: Machining feedrate
Note: The vertical insertion into pocket center method can be used only if the tool
can cut across center or if the workpiece has been predrilled.
FZ
(only for G code)
Depth infeed rate – (only for vertical insertion) *
FZ
(only for ShopMill)
Depth infeed rate – (only for vertical insertion) mm/min
mm/tooth
EP Maximum pitch of helix - (for helical insertion only)
The helix pitch may be lower due to the geometrical situation.
mm/rev
