Residual Material Detection For Contour Cycles - Siemens SINUMERIK 828D Manual

13.3

Residual material detection for contour cycles

Contour ranges which do not permit milling with large diameters are automatically identified
in the cycle for contour pockets and contour spigots. These areas can be selectively
machined with a suitable smaller tool, rather than having to use this tool for the entire
contour pocket or spigot.
If you mill several pockets and wish to avoid unnecessary tool changeovers, remove stock
from all the pockets first and then remove the residual material. In this case, you must enter
the tool used for removing the residual material from the pocket in the "TR reference tool"
parameter.
Benefits
Shorter machining times through the use of a large tool for the substantial part of the
stock removal and a smaller tool for the remaining residual material
Avoidance of non-cutting movements while achieving extremely simple programming
