Parameter Description
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.
Machining type
You can select the machining mode (roughing, base finishing, edge finishing, chamfer) for
milling. If you want to rough and then finish, you have to call the machining cycle twice
(Block 1 = roughing, Block 2 = finishing). The programmed parameters are retained when
the cycle is called for the second time.
Approach/retraction
1. The tool approaches the starting point in rapid traverse at the height of the retraction
2. The tool first infeeds to the machining depth and then approaches the spigot contour from
3. The spigot is machined in parallel with the contours from the outside in. The direction is
4. When the first plane of the spigot has been machined, the tool retracts from the contour
