AP1, AP2 (blank dimensions)
When machining the spigot, it is possible to take into account blank dimensions (e.g. when machining precast parts).
The basic sizes for the length and width (AP1 and AP2) are programmed without sign and their symmetrical positions
around the spigot center are computed in the cycle. The internally calculated radius of the approach semi-circle depends on
this dimension.
Note
A tool compensation must be programmed before the cycle is called. Otherwise, the cycle is canceled and alarm 61009
"Active tool number=0" is output.
Internally in the cycle, a new current workpiece coordinate system is used which influences the actual value display. The
zero point of this coordinate system is to be found in the pocket center point.
At the end of the cycle, the original coordinate system is active again.
Programming example: Spigot
Use this program to machine in the XY plane a spigot that is 60 mm long, 40 mm wide and has 15 mm corner radius. The
spigot has an angle of 10 degrees relative to the X axis and is premanufactured with a length allowance of 80 mm and a
width allowance of 50 mm.
