Engraving Cycle - Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Manual

Engraving cycle

The engraving cycle is used to engrave a text on a workpiece along a line or arc. You can
enter the text as fixed text or assign it via a variable as variable text.
Examples of variable texts:
Date and time
The values for the date and time are read from the CNC.
Quantity
The "Quantity" variable is available as a pre-defined user variable
Numbers
When outputting numbers (e.g. measurement results), you can select the output format
(digits before and after the point) of the number to be engraved.
Text
Instead of entering a fixed text in the engraving text field, you can specify the text to be
engraved via a text variable (e.g., _VAR_TEXT="ABC123").
Benefits
Reduction of set-up times by complete machining on one machine
Simple program input of engraving
