8.5.13 Contour spigot residual material (CYCLE63, option)
Function
When you have milled a contour spigot and residual material remains, then this is
automatically detected. You can use a suitable tool to remove this residual material without
having to machine the whole spigot again, i.e. avoiding unnecessary non-productive motion.
Material that remains as part of the finishing allowance is not residual material.
The residual material is calculated on the basis of the milling cutter used for clearing.
If you mill several spigots and want to avoid unnecessary tool changeover, clear all the
spigots first and then remove the residual material. In this case, for removing the residual
material, you also have to enter a value for the reference tool TR parameter, which, for the
ShopTurn program, additionally appears when you press the "All parameters" softkey. When
programming, proceed as follows:
1. Contour blank 1
2. Contour spigot 1
3. Clear spigot 1
4. Contour blank 2
5. Contour spigot 2
6. Clear spigot 2
7. Contour blank 1
8. Contour spigot 1
9. Removing residual stock spigot 1
10. Contour blank 2
11. Contour spigot 2
12. Removing residual stock spigot 2
Software option
For removing residual stock, you require the option "residual stock detection
and machining".
Clamping the spindle
For ShopTurn, the "Clamp spindle" function can be set up by the machine manufacturer.
Machine manufacturer
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
