Programming technology functions (cycles)
10.2 Rotate
If the tool does not round the corner at the end of the cut, it is raised by the safety distance or
a value specified in the machine data at rapid traverse. The cycle always observes the lower
value; otherwise, stock removal at inner contours, for example, could cause the contour to be
damaged.
● Finishing
Finishing is performed in the same direction as roughing. The cycle automatically selects
and deselects tool radius compensation during finishing.
Approach/retraction
1. The tool first moves at rapid traverse to the starting point of the machining operation
calculated internally in the cycle (reference point + safety distance).
2. The tool moves to the first infeed depth at rapid traverse.
3. The first cut is made at machining feedrate.
4. The tool rounds the contour at machining feedrate or is raised at rapid traverse (see
"Roughing").
5. The tool is moved at rapid traverse to the starting point for the next infeed depth.
6. The next cut is made at machining feedrate.
7. Steps 4 to 6 are repeated until the final depth is reached.
8. The tool moves back to the safety distance at rapid traverse.
