Programming technological functions (cycles)8.2 MillingMilling326 Operating Manual, 03/2010, 6FC5398-7CP20-1BA0NoteEntering the engraving textOnly single-line entries without line break are permissible!Variable textsThere are various ways of defining variable text:● Date and timeFor example, you can engrave the time and date of manufacture on a workpiece. Thevalues for date and time are read from the NCK.● QuantityUsing the workpiece variables you can assign a consecutive number to the workpieces.You can define the format (number of digits, leading zeroes).The place holder (#) is used to format the number of digits at which the workpiece countsoutput will begin.If you do not want to output a count of 1 for the first workpiece, you can specify anadditive value (e.g., <#,$AC_ACTUAL_PARTS + 100>). The workpiece count output isthen incremented by this value (e. g. 101, 102, 103,...).● NumbersWhen outputting number (e. g. measurement results), you can select the output format(digits either side of the point) of the number to be engraved.● TextInstead of entering a fixed text in the engraving text field, you can specify the text to beengraved via a text variable (e. g., _VAR_TEXT="ABC123").Full circleIf you want to distribute the characters evenly around a full circle, enter the arc angleα2=360°. The cycle then distributes the characters evenly around the full circle.Parameters, G code program Parameters, ShopMill programPL Machining plane T Tool nameRP Retraction plane mm D Cutting edge numberSC Safety clearance mm F Feedrate mm/minmm/revF Feedrate mm/min S / V Spindle speed or constantcutting raterpmm/min
