Milling Contour Spigot (Cycle63) - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Operating Manual

Parameter Description
Machining The following machining operations can be selected:
∇ (roughing)
TR Reference tool Tool, which is used in the "Stock removal" machining step. Is used to
determine the residual material.
D Cutting edge number
Z0 Reference point in the tool axis Z
Z1 Pocket depth (abs) or depth referred to Z0 (inc)
DXY
● Maximum plane infeed
● Maximum plane infeed as a percentage of the milling cutter diameter
DZ Maximum depth infeed
UXY Finishing allowance, plane
UZ Finishing allowance, depth
Lift mode Lift mode before new infeed
If the machining operation requires several points of insertion, the retraction height to
which the tool is retracted, is selected as follows:
● To retraction plane
● Z0 + safety clearance
If there are no elements larger than Z0 in the pocket area, "Z0 + safety clearance" can
be selected as the lift mode.

Milling contour spigot (CYCLE63)

Function
You can mill any spigot using the "Mill spigot" cycle.
Before you mill the spigot, you must first enter a blank contour and then one or more spigot
contours. The blank contour defines the area, outside of which there is no material, i.e. the
tool moves with rapid traverse there. Material is then removed between the blank contour and
spigot contour.
Note
Execution from external media
If you execute programs from an external drive (e.g. local drive or network drive) then you
require the execution from external storage function (EES).
