_PO REAL Pocket center point, ordinate
_MID REAL Maximum infeed depth (enter without sign)
Finishing allowance at the pocket edge (enter without sign)
_FALD REAL Finishing allowance at the base (enter without sign)
_FFP1 REAL Feedrate for surface machining
Feedrate for depth infeed
_CDIR INT Milling direction: (enter without sign)
Values:
0: Down-cut milling (in the spindle direction)
1: Conventional milling
2: With G2 (independent of spindle direction)
3: With G3
_VARI INT Machining type
UNITS DIGIT
Values:
1: roughing, 2: finishing
TENS DIGIT:
Values:
0: Perpendicular to the pocket center with G0
1: Perpendicular to the pocket center with G1
2: Along a helix
The other parameters can be selected as options. They define the insertion strategy and the overlap for solid machining (to
be entered without sign):
Maximum infeed width as a value in solid machining in the plane
Pocket radius blank dimension
_AD REAL Blank pocket depth dimension from reference plane
Radius of the helical path during insertion (relative to the tool center point path)
Insertion depth per 360° revolution on insertion along helical path
Use this cycle to machine circular pockets in the machining plane. For finishing, a face cutter is required.
The depth infeed always starts at the pocket center point and be performed vertically from there; thus it is practical to predrill
at this position.
● The milling direction can be determined either using a G command (G2/G3) or from the spindle direction as synchronous
or up-cut milling.
● For solid machining, the maximum infeed width in the plane can be programmed.
● Finishing allowance also for the pocket base.
● Two different insertion strategies:
– vertically to the pocket center
– along a helical path around the pocket center
● Shorter approach paths in the plane for finishing
● Consideration of a blank contour in the plane and a blank dimension at the base (optimum machining of preformed
pockets possible).
● _MIDA is recalculated during edge machining.
