Programming technological functions (cycles)
10.3 Contour milling
* Unit of feedrate as programmed before the cycle call
Note
When input manually, the starting point can also be located outside the pocket. This can be
useful, for example, when machining a pocket which is open on one side. The machining
operation then begins without insertion with a linear movement into the open side of the pocket.

Parameter Description
Machining The following machining operations can be selected:
● ∇ (roughing)
● ∇∇∇ base (base finishing)
● ∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)
● Chamfering
Z0 Reference point in the tool axis Z
Z1 Pocket depth (abs) or depth relative to Z0 (inc) - (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇ edge)
DXY
● Maximum plane infeed
● Maximum plane infeed as a percentage of the milling cutter diameter
(only for ∇ or ∇∇∇ base)
DZ Maximum depth infeed – (only for ∇ and ∇∇∇ edge)
UXY Plane finishing allowance - (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇ edge)
UZ Depth finishing allowance – (only for ∇ or ∇∇∇ base)
