Description and Running of the Auto Cycle
You will need to enter the Feed Rate and Spindle RPM the program will run at.
There are no Move to buttons in this program. You MUST be at the zero positions when the Auto Cycle is
started.
Start Auto Cycle
When you are at the zero positions press the Auto Cycle, the spindle will start at the programmed
RPM. The vertical feed will start at the programmed rate in an upward direction until the correct Outside
diameter is reached. The circular interpolation will start at this point and go 360 degrees. It will then
continue the circular interpolation back towards the center of the Main to clear the cutting tool from the
thrust face. When the cutterhead is back at the center point (zero positions) of the Main, all motion will
stop. The cutterhead will then rapid travel to the left taking the main width and the cutter diameter into
account to reach the correct depth on the second thrust face. The same circular interpolation process
will then be repeated for the second face. The cutterhead will then retract horizontally to the clearance
distance then vertically to the block clearance distance.
When the program is running the “Start Auto Cycle” button will change to “Press to Pause”. If this button
is pressed the machine will pause the program right where it is. At this point the screens are locked out
from changing anything. The button will the change to “Press to Resume”. If you want to resume press
the button and the program will continue from that point on. If you do not wish to continue press the
“Stop” button. This will put the machine back in idle mode and changes can be made to the program.
