Parameter Description
Insertion The following insertion modes can be selected – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇ edge):
● Vertical
The calculated actual infeed depth is machined at the calculated position.
Note:
This setting can be used only if the cutter can cut across center or if the pocket has
been predrilled.
● Helical
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.
● Oscillation
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 insertion path.
FZ (only for
ShopMill)
Depth infeed rate – (only for perpendicular insertion and ∇) mm/min
mm/tooth

EP Maximum pitch of helix – (for helical insertion only) mm/rev
ER Radius of helix – (for helical insertion only)
The radius cannot be any larger than the cutter radius; otherwise, material will remain.
