Insertion The following insertion modes can be selected – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇
edge):
•
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.
•
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.
•
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 in-

:
During insertion with oscillation, the message “Ramp path too short” will ap-
pear if the tool is less than the milling cutter diameter away from the insertion
point along the ramp. If this occurs, please reduce the angle of insertion.
