Parameter Description Unit
FZ
(only for ShopMill)
Depth infeed rate – (only for insertion and vertical insertion) mm/min
mm/tooth
EP Maximum pitch of helix - (for helical insertion only)
The helix pitch may be lower due to the geometrical situation.
mm/rev
ER Radius of helix - (only for helical insertion)
The radius must not be larger than the milling cutter radius, otherwise material
will remain. Also make sure the circular pocket is not violated
mm
Solid machining
● Complete machining
The circular pocket must be milled from a solid workpiece (e.g. casting).
● Post machining
A small pocket or hole has already been machined in the workpiece. This
needs to be enlarged. Parameters AZ, and ∅1 must be programmed.
FS Chamfer width for chamfering - (for chamfering only) mm
ZFS Insertion depth of tool tip (abs or inc) - (for chamfering only) mm
AZ Depth of premachining - (for remachining only) mm
∅1 Diameter of premachining - (for remachining only) mm
