Programming technological functions (cycles)8.2 MillingMilling370 Operating Manual, 03/2013, 6FC5398-7CP40-3BA1Parameter Description UnitTechnology • Vortex millingThe milling cutter performs circular motions along the length of the slot and backagain.• Plunge cuttingSequential drilling motion along the tool axis.Milling direction: - (except plunge cutting).• Climbing cutting• Conventional cutting• Climbing-conventional cuttingMachiningposition• Single positionMill a slot at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).• Position patternMill slots at a programmed position pattern (e.g. full circle or grid).X0Y0Z0The positions refer to the reference point:Reference point X – (for single position only)Reference point Y – (for single position only)Reference point Z – (only for single position and G Code position pattern)mmmmmmW Slot width mmL Slot length mmα0 Angle of rotation of slot DegreesZ1 Slot depth (abs) or depth relative to Z0 (abs) – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇, ∇∇∇ base and ∇∇∇rough finishing)mmDXY • Maximum plane infeed• Maximum plane infeed as a percentage of the milling cutter diameter- (only for ∇)mm%DZ Maximum depth infeed - (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ rough finishing, ∇∇∇ and ∇∇∇ edge)- (only for vortex milling)mmUXY Plane finishing allowance (slot edge) - (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ rough finishing and ∇∇∇ base) mmUZ Depth finishing allowance (slot base) - (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ rough finishing and ∇∇∇ edge ) mmFS Chamfer width for chamfering (inc) - (for chamfering only) mmZFS Insertion depth of tool tip (abs or inc) - (for chamfering only) mm* Unit of feedrate as programmed before the cycle call
