8.6.3 High-speed settings (CYCLE832)
Function
Machining of free-form surfaces involves high requirements regarding velocity, precision and
surface quality.
You can achieve optimum velocity control depending on the type of processing (roughing,
rough-finishing, finishing) very simply with the "High Speed Settings" cycle.
Program the cycle in the technology program before the geometry program is called.
The "High Speed Settings" cycle is also in conjunction with the "Advanced Surface" function.
Software option
You require the software option in order to use this function:
