Milling contour spigot (CYCLE63)
Function
You can use the "Mill spigot" function to mill any spigots on the face or peripheral surface.
Before you mill the spigot, you must first enter a blank contour and then one or more spigot
contours. The blank contour defines the area, outside of which there is no material, i.e. there,
the tool moves with rapid traverse. Material is then removed between the blank contour and
spigot contour.
Note
Execution from external media
If you execute programs from an external drive (e.g. local drive or network drive) then you
require the execution from external storage function (EES).
For additional information, please refer to the following references:
sioning Manual SINUMERIK Operate (IM9) / SINUMERIK 840D sl
For ShopTurn, the "Clamp spindle" function can be set up by the machine manufacturer.
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
For simple machining operations, you have the option to reduce the wide variety of
parameters to the most important parameters using the "Input" selection field. In this "Input
simple" mode, the hidden parameters are allocated a fixed value that cannot be adjusted.
Various defined values can be pre
-assigned using setting data.
Please refer to the machine manufacturer's specifications.
If the workpiece programming requires it, you can display and change all of the parameters
using "Input complete".
You can select the machining type (roughing, base finishing, edge finishing, chamfer) for
milling. If you want to rough and then finish, you have to call the machining cycle twice (block
1 = roughing, block 2 = finishing). The programmed parameters are retained when the cycle
is called for the second time.
