Programming technological functions (cycles)8.3 Contour millingMillingOperating Manual, 03/2010, 6FC5398-7CP20-1BA0 343MachiningYou program the machining of contour pockets with islands/blank contour with spigots e.g.as follows:1. Enter the pocket contour/blank contour2. Enter the island/spigot contour3. Call the contour for pocket contour/blank contour or island/spigot contour (only for G codeprogram)4. Center (this is only possible for pocket contour)5. Predrill (this is only possible for pocket contour)6. Solid machine/machine pocket / spigot - roughing7. Solid machine/machine remaining material - roughing8. Finishing (base/edge)9. ChamferingSoftware optionFor solid machining residual material, you require the option "residualmaterial detection and machining".Name conventionFor multi-channel systems, cycles attach a "_C" and a two-digit number of the specificchannel to the names of the programs to be generated, e.g. for channel 1 "_C01". This is thereason that the name of the main program must not end with "_C" and a two-digit number.This is monitored by the cycles.For single-channel systems, cycles do not extend the name for the programs to begenerated.NoteG code programsFor G code programs, the programs to be generated, which do not include any path data,are saved in the directory in which the main program is located. In this case, it must beensured that programs, which already exist in the directory and which have the same nameas the programs to be generated, are overwritten.
