Cycle run

In conjunction with Cycle 14 CONTOUR, this cycle facilitates the
complete machining of open and closed slots or contour slots using
trochoidal milling.
With trochoidal milling, large cutting depths and high cutting speeds
are possible because the equally distributed cutting conditions
prevent wear-increasing influences on the tool. When tool inserts are
used the entire cutting length is exploited to increase the attainable
chip volume per tooth. Moreover, trochoidal milling is easy on the
machine mechanics. Enormous amounts of time can also be saved
by combining this milling method with the integrated adaptive feed
control AFC software option (see User's Manual on conversational
programming).
Depending on the cycle parameters you select, the following
machining alternatives are available:
Complete machining: Roughing, side finishing
Only roughing
Only side finishing
Roughing with closed slots
The contour description of a closed slot must always start with a
straight-line block (L block).
1 Following the positioning logic, the tool moves to the starting
point of the contour description and moves in a reciprocating
motion at the plunging angle defined in the tool table to the first
infeed depth. Specify the plunging strategy with parameter Q366.
2 The TNC roughs the slot in circular motions to the contour end
point. During the circular motion the TNC moves the tool in
machining direction by an infeed you can define (Q436). Define
climb or up-cut of the circular motion in parameter Q351.
3 At the contour end point, the TNC moves the tool to clearance
height and returns to the starting point of the contour description.
4 This process is repeated until the programmed slot depth is
reached.
Finishing with closed slots
5 Inasmuch as a finishing allowance is defined, the TNC finishes
the slot walls, in multiple infeeds if so specified. Starting from
the defined starting point, the TNC approaches the slot wall
tangentially. Climb or up-cut are taken into consideration.
