Feed control
8.12 Tooth feedrate (G95 FZ)
NOTICE
Tool operations undefined
Technological concerns such as climb milling or conventional milling, front face milling or
peripheral face milling, etc., along with the path geometry (straight line, circle, etc.), are not
taken into account automatically. Therefore, these factors have to be given consideration
when programming the tooth feedrate.
Note
Switchover between G95 F... and G95 FZ...
Switching over between G95 F... (revolutional feedrate) and G95 FZ... (tooth feedrate)
will delete the non-active feedrate value in each case.
Note
Derive feedrate with FPR
As is the case with the revolutional feedrate, FPR can also be used to derive the tooth feedrate
of any rotary axis or spindle (see "Feedrate for positioning axes / spindles (FA, FPR, FPRAON,
FPRAOF) (Page 114)").

Comment
; Tooth feedrate 0.02 mm/tooth
; Load tool and activate tool offset data block.
; Spindle speed 200 rpm
; Milling with:
FZ = 0.02 mm/tooth
effective revolutional feedrate:
F = 0.02 mm/tooth * 5 teeth/rev = 0.1 mm/rev
or
F = 0.1 mm/rev * 200 rpm = 20 mm/min
Comment
; Revolutional feedrate 0.1 mm/rev
