Insertion
Various insertion modes can be selected – (only for plane-by-plane machining method
and for ∇, ∇∇∇ and ∇∇∇ edge):
•
(only for G code)
•
Vertical: Insert vertically at 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.
