Cycle Parameters - HEIDENHAIN TNC 620 User Manual

Cycle parameters

Nominal diameter Q335: Nominal thread diameter.
Input range 0 to 99999.9999
Thread pitch Q239: Pitch of the thread. The
algebraic sign differentiates between right-hand and
left-hand threads:
+ = right-hand thread
–= left-hand thread
Input range -99.9999 to 99.9999
Thread depth Q201 (incremental): Distance
between workpiece surface and root of thread.
Input range -99999.9999 to 99999.9999
Threads per step Q355: Number of thread starts by
which the tool is displaced:
0 = one helix on the thread depth
1 = continuous helix on the complete thread length
>1 = several helix paths with approach and
departure, between these the TNC sets the tool by
Q355 x pitch. Input range 0 to 99999
Feed rate for pre-positioning Q253: Traversing
speed of the tool when moving in and out of the
workpiece, in mm/min. Input range 0 to 99999.9999
alternatively FMAX, FAUTO
Climb or up-cut Q351: Type of milling operation
with M3
+1 = Climb
–1 = Up-cut (If you enter 0, climb milling is used for
machining)
Set-up clearance Q200 (incremental): Distance
between tool tip and workpiece surface. Input range
0 to 99999.9999
Coordinate of workpiece surface Q203 (absolute):
Coordinate of the workpiece surface. Input range
-99999.9999 to 99999.9999
2nd set-up clearance Q204 (incremental):
Coordinate in the spindle axis at which no collision
between tool and workpiece (fixtures) can occur.
Input range 0 to 99999.9999
Feed rate for milling Q207: Traversing speed of
the tool in mm/min while milling. Input range 0 to
99999.999 alternatively FAUTO
Feed rate for approaching Q206: Traversing
speed of the tool in mm/min while approaching.
If the thread diameters are small, you can reduce
the danger of tool breakage by using a reduced
approaching feed rate. Input range 0 to 99999.999
alternatively FAUTO
