Further Cycles And Functions; Swiveling Plane / Aligning Tool (Cycle800) - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Operating Manual

Parameter Description
Lift mode Lift mode before new infeed
If the machining operation requires several points of insertion, the retraction height can
be programmed:
● To retraction plane
● Z0 + safety clearance
When making the transition to the next insertion point, the tool returns to this height. If
there are no elements larger than Z0 in the pocket area, Z0 + safety clearance" can be
selected as the lift mode.
FS Chamfer width for chamfering - (only for chamfering machining)
ZFS Insertion depth of tool tip (abs or inc) - (for chamfering machining only)

Swiveling plane / aligning tool (CYCLE800)

The CYCLE800 swivel cycle is used to swivel to any surface in order to either machine or
measure it. In this cycle, the active workpiece zeros and the work offsets are converted to the
inclined surface taking into account the kinematic chain of the machine by calling the
appropriate NC functions and rotary axes (optionally) are positioned.
Swiveling can be realized:
● axis-by-axis
● via solid angle
● via projection angle
● directly
Before the rotary axes are positioned, the linear axes can be retracted if desired.
Swiveling always means three geometry axes.
In the basic version, the following functions
● 3 + 2 axes, inclined machining and
● Toolholder with orientation capability
are available.
Setting/aligning tools for a G code program
The swivel function also includes the "Setting tool", "Align milling tool" and "Align turning tool"
functions. When setting and aligning, contrary to swiveling, the coordinate system (WCS) is
not rotated at the same time.
