Cycle run

Use Cycle 254 to completely machine a circular slot. Depending
on the cycle parameters, the following machining alternatives are
available:
Complete machining: Roughing, floor finishing, side finishing
Only roughing
Only floor finishing and side finishing
Only floor finishing
Only side finishing
Roughing
1 The tool moves in a reciprocating motion in the slot center 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 out the slot from the inside out, taking the
finishing allowances (parameter Q368) into account.
3 The TNC retracts the tool by the set-up clearance Q200. If the
slot width matches the cutter diameter, the TNC retracts the
tool from the slot after each infeed.
4 This process is repeated until the programmed slot depth is
reached.
Finishing
5 Inasmuch as finishing allowances are defined, the TNC then
finishes the slot walls, in multiple infeeds if so specified. The
slot side is approached tangentially.
6 Then the TNC finishes the floor of the slot from the inside out.
