22.9 Milling with ShopMill
General
All of the MD and SD settings of the standard cycles can be found in Chapter "Configuring
cycles (Page 451)", and are also applicable for milling under ShopMill and turning under
ShopTurn.
22.9.1 Setting-up ShopMill cycles for milling
Load ShopMill cycles for milling
When the control boots, the ShopMill cycles are automatically loaded into the following
directory: ../siemens/sinumerik/cycles/sm/prog
Setting the coordinate system
MD52000 $MCS_DISP_COORDINATE_SYSTEM
= 0
Examples:
=0 for vertical milling machines
=16 for horizontal milling machines, boring mill
A detailed description of the MD52000 is provided in Section:
Activating turning/milling/drilling technologies (Page 451)
For plane selection when milling, appropriately set the following machine data:
MD52005 $MCS_DISP_PLANE_MILL
= 17
= 0
= 17
= 18
= 19
Simulation and simultaneous recording
In order that simulation and simultaneous recording are displayed without any errors, set the
machine data as described in the following section:
