Circular Pattern (Cycle) - HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 User Manual

CIRCULAR PATTERN (Cycle 220)
1 At rapid traverse, the TNC moves the tool from its current position
to the starting point for the first machining operation.
Sequence:
Move to 2nd set-up clearance (spindle axis)
Approach the starting point in the spindle axis.
Move to the set-up clearance above the workpiece surface
(spindle axis).
2 From this position, the TNC executes the last defined fixed cycle.
3 The tool then approaches on a straight line or circular arc the
starting point for the next machining operation. The tool stops at
set-up clearance (or 2nd set-up clearance).
4 This process (1 to 3) is repeated until all machining operations have
been executed.
Before programming, note the following:
Cycle 220 is DEF active, which means that Cycle 220 calls
the last defined fixed cycle automatically.
If you combine Cycle 220 with one of the fixed cycles 200
to 209, 212 to 215, 251 to 265 or 267, the set-up
clearance, workpiece surface and 2nd set-up clearance
that you defined in Cycle 220 will be effective for the
selected fixed cycle.
Center in 1st axis Q216 (absolute value): Center of
the pitch circle in the reference axis of the working
plane.
Center in 2nd axis Q217 (absolute value): Center of
the pitch circle in the minor axis of the working plane.
Pitch circle diameter Q244: Diameter of the pitch
circle.
Starting angle Q245 (absolute value): Angle
between the reference axis of the working plane and
the starting point for the first machining operation on
the pitch circle.
Stopping angle Q246 (absolute value): Angle
between the reference axis of the working plane and
the starting point for the last machining operation on
the pitch circle (does not apply to complete circles).
Do not enter the same value for the stopping angle
and starting angle. If you enter the stopping angle
greater than the starting angle, machining will be
carried out counterclockwise; otherwise, machining
will be clockwise.
