Contour pocket residual material (CYCLE63, option)
Function
When you have removed stock from a pocket (with/without islands) and there is residual
material, then this is automatically detected. You can use a suitable tool to remove this
residual material without having to machine the whole pocket 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 stock removal.
If you mill several pockets and want to avoid unnecessary tool changeover, remove stock
from all the pockets 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 pocket 1
2. Stock removal
3. Contour pocket 2
4. Stock removal
5. Contour pocket 1
6. Removing residual stock
7. Contour pocket 2
8. Removing residual stock
