SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D Operation/Programming ShopMill (BAS) – 10.04 Edition
Before you can machine a pocket with islands, you must enter the
contour of the pocket and islands (see Sec. "Freely defined
contours"). The first contour you specify is interpreted as the pocket
contour and all the others as islands.
Using the programmed contours and the input screen form for solid
machining, ShopMill generates a program which removes the pockets
with islands from inside to outside in parallel to the contour. The
direction is determined by the direction of rotation specified in the
program header for machining (reverse or synchronous).
The islands can also be located partially outside the pocket or overlap
each other.
Press the "Cont. mill." and "Mill pocket" softkeys.
