3.4.2 SLOT MILLING DATA DEFINITION
Type of slot milling
To select the type of slot milling, place the cursor over this icon and press
Coordinates of the starting point
These coordinates are defined one by one. After placing the cursor over the axis coordinates to be
defined, it is possible:
a) To enter the value by hand. Key in the value and press
b) Assign the current axis position.
Jog the axis to the desired point with the handwheel or with the JOG keys. The upper right-hand
window shows the tool position at all times.
Press for the selected data to assume the value displayed in the upper right-hand window.
Press
Slot dimensions (L, H, E, a)
They are defined one by one. Place the cursor in the corresponding window, key in the desired value
and press
When programming parameter «E» with a smaller value than the tool radius, the CNC executes the
planning with an «E» value equal to the tool radius.
Machining conditions in Z (Zs, Z, P, I, Fz)
The machining conditions are defined one by one.
The Zs and Z values are defined like the starting and end points.
To define the rest of the values (P, I, Fz), place the cursor in the corresponding window, key in the
desired value and press
If the penetration step is programmed with a positive sign (I+), the cycle recalculates the step so allthe
penetrations are the same with a value equal to or smaller than the one programmed.
If it is programmed with a negative sign (I-), the cycle machines with the given step except on the last
one where it machines the rest.
Milling step (
∆ ∆
) and finishing stock (
δδ
z
)
They are defined one by one. Place the cursor in the corresponding window, key in the desired value
and press
