Starting point
• Manual
Starting point is entered
• Automatic
Starting point is automatically calculated
XS Starting point X - (only for "manual" starting point) mm
YS Starting point X - (only for "manual" starting point) mm
Insertion
The following insertion modes can be selected – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇ edge):
• Vertical insertion
The calculated actual infeed depth is executed at the calculated position for
"automatic" starting point – or at the specified position for "manual" starting point.
• Note
This setting can be used only if the cutter can cut across center or if the pocket has
been predrilled.
• Helical insertion
Insertion along a helical path.
The cutter center point traverses along the helical path determined by the radius
and depth per revolution (helical path). If the depth for one infeed has been
reached, a full circle motion is executed to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
• Oscillating insertion
Oscillating insertion at the center axis of the rectangular pocket.
The cutter center point oscillates back and forth along a linear path until it reaches
the depth infeed. When the depth has been reached, the path is traversed again
without depth infeed in order to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
FZ (only for
ShopTurn)
Depth infeed rate – (for vertical insertion only) mm/min
mm/tooth
FZ (only for G
code)
Depth infeed rate – (for vertical insertion only) mm/min
EP Maximum pitch of helix – (for helical insertion only) mm/rev
ER Radius of helix – (for helical insertion only)
The radius cannot be any larger than the milling cutter radius; otherwise, material will
remain.
