Roughing cycles

Functionality
The roughing cycles (integrated in the control) are the easiest way of producing common
paraxial cutting contours. They are defined by setting particular input parameters in the
appropriate screen forms.
The contour can be machined using the following position of the contour:
● "Outside right"
● "Inside right"
● "Outside left"
Roughing either be "Longitudinal" or "Face".
Operating sequences
Starting from the main menu for "Manual Machine Plus" you can reach the roughing cycle
functions via softkey menu "Turning".
Figure 3-41
The following roughing cycles can be used via the vertical softkey bar or by selecting via
<Cursor keys>:
● Roughing cycle A - simple stepped contour
● Roughing cycle B - expanded stepped contour with beveled edges
● Roughing cycle C - expanded stepped contour with rounding
● Roughing cycle D - single radius
● Roughing cycle E - single taper
● Roughing cycle F - Face and longitudinal turning
● Roughing cycle - free contour
