Milling Cycles
3.10 Milling circular pockets – POCKET4
Further notes
A tool offset must be activated before the cycle is
called. Otherwise the cycle is aborted and alarm
61000 "No tool offset active" is output.
A new workpiece coordinate system that influences
the actual value display is used in the cycle. The
zero point of this coordinate system lies on the
pocket center point.
The original coordinate system becomes active
again after the end of the cycle.
Programming example
Circular pocket
With this program you can machine a circular pocket
in the YZ plane. The center point is defined by Y50
Z50. The infeed axis for the depth infeed is the
X axis. Neither a final machining allowance nor a
safety distance is defined. The pocket will be
machined using down-cut milling. Infeed occurs
along a helical path.
