Description
PL
Machining plane
RP
Retraction plane (abs)
SC
Safety clearance (inc)
F
Feedrate
Machining type
Plane-by-plane
•
The tool is inserted to infeed depth in the pocket center.
Note: This setting can be used only if the cutter can cut across center.
Oscillating
•
Insert with oscillation along center axis of longitudinal slot:
The cutter center point oscillates along a linear path until it reaches the depth in-
feed. When the depth has been reached, the path is traversed again without depth
infeed in order to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
Reference point
Position of the reference point:
Machining posi-
Single position
•
tion
An elongated hole is machined at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).
Position pattern
•
Several elongated holes are machined in the programmed position pattern (e.g.
pitch circle, grid, line).
The positions refer to the reference point:
X0
Reference point X – (for single position only)
Y0
Reference point Y – (for single position only)
Z0
Reference point Z
L
Elongated hole length
α0
Angle of rotation
Z1
Elongated hole depth (abs) or depth in relation to Z0 (inc)
DZ
Maximum depth infeed
FZ
Depth infeed rate
* Unit of feedrate as programmed before the cycle call
