Arbitrary Positions (Cycle802) - Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Operating Manual

Programming a position pattern in ShopMill
Several position patterns can be programmed in succession (up to 20 technologies and
position patterns in total). They are executed in the order in which you program them.
The programmed technologies and subsequently programmed positions are automatically
linked by the control.
Approach/retraction
1. The programmed positions are machined with the previously programmed tool (e.g.
2. With technological follow-up operations (e.g. centering - drilling - tapping), the respective
Tool traverse path
Within a position pattern, or while approaching the next position pattern, the tool is retracted
to the retraction plane and the new position or position pattern is then approached at rapid
traverse.

Arbitrary positions (CYCLE802)

Function
The "Arbitrary positions" cycle allows you to program positions freely, i.e. rectangular or
polar. Individual positions are approached in the order in which you program them. Press
softkey "Delete all" to delete all positions programmed in X/Y.

center drill). Machining of the positions always starts at the reference point. In the case of
a grid, machining is performed first in the direction of the 1st axis and then meandering
back and forth. The frame and hole circle are machined counterclockwise.
drilling cycle must programmed after calling the next tool (e.g. drill) and immediately
afterwards the call of the position pattern to be machined.
1. The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been
created and you are in the editor.
2. Press the "Drilling" softkey.
3. Press the "Positions" softkey.
The "Positions" input window opens.
