Programming a cycle4.7 MillingHMI sl TurningOperating Manual, 01/2008, 6FC5398-7AP10-0BA0 239ParametersParameter Description UnitPL Machining plane: 1)G17 (XY)Milling direction:• Down-cut• Up-cut• G2• G3RP Retraction plane (abs)Normally, reference point Z0 and retraction plane RP have different values. Thecycle assumes that the retraction plane is in front of the reference point.SC Safety clearance (inc)Acts in relation to the reference point. The direction in which the safety clearanceis active is automatically determined by the cycle.F FeedrateReference point Position of the reference point:• Center• Inside left• Inside right• Left-hand edge• Right-hand edgeMachining • ∇ (roughing)• ∇∇∇ (finishing)• ∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)• ChamferingX0Y0Z0The positions refer to the reference point:Reference point X – (for single position only)Reference point Y – (for single position only)Reference point ZmmmmmmW Groove width mmL Groove length mmα0 Angle of rotation DegreesZ1 Groove depth (abs) or depth relative to Z0 (inc) – (only for ∇, ∇∇ and ∇∇∇ edge) mmDZ Maximum depth infeed - (only for ∇, ∇∇ or ∇∇∇ edge) mmFS Chamfer width for chamfering (inc) - (for chamfering only), mmZFS Insertion depth of tool tip (abs or inc) - (for chamfering only) mmUXY Plane finishing allowance - (not for chamfering) mmUZ Depth finishing allowance (groove base) - (not for chamfering or edge finishing) mm
