Tool
Tool tip when swiveling
Correct
•
The position of the tool tip is maintained during swiveling.
No correction
•
The position of the tool tip is not maintained during swiveling.

High-speed settings (CYCLE832)
Function
With the "High Speed Settings" function (CYCLE832), data for the machining of
free-form surfaces is pre-assigned values so that optimum machining is possible.
The call of CYCLE832 contains three parameters:
● Tolerance
● Machining type (technology)
● Input of the orientation tolerance (for 5-axis machines)
Machining of free-form surfaces involves high requirements regarding velocity, precision and
surface quality.
You can achieve optimum velocity control depending on the type of machining (roughing,
rough-finishing, finishing) very simply with the "High Speed Settings" cycle.
Program the cycle in the technology program before the geometry program is called.
The "High Speed Settings" cycle is also in conjunction with the "Advanced Surface" function.
