SINUMERIK 840D sl Operation/Programming ShopTurn (BAT) – 08/2005 Edition 5-303
Approach/retraction
1. The tool approaches the starting point at rapid traverse at the
height of the retraction plane and adjusts to the safety clearance.
The start point is calculated by ShopTurn.
2. The tool first infeeds to the machining depth and then approaches
the spigot contour from the side in a quadrant at machining
feedrate.
3. The spigot is cleared in parallel with the contours from the outside
in. The direction is determined by the machining direction
(climb/conventional) (see "Changing program settings").
4. When the first plane of the spigot has been cleared, the tool
retracts from the contour in a quadrant and then infeeds to the next
machining depth.
5. The spigot is again approached in a quadrant and cleared in
parallel with the contours from outside in.
6. Steps 4 and 5 are repeated until the programmed spigot depth is
reached.
7. The tool moves back to the safety clearance at rapid traverse.
