Required input parameters

Input parameters

Description

@P1

Reference plane (absolute)

@P2

Retraction plane (absolute)

@P3

Safety clearance in Z (relative to reference plane/machining height)

@P4

Pocket depth (relative to reference plane)

@P5

Maximum infeed in Z

@P6

Maximum infeed in XY

(Maximum V.G.WZ_AKT.R is recommended to avoid residual material)

@P50

Identification number of the pocket contour

Optional input parameters

Input parameters

Description

@P7

Pitch of plunge helix

Default value = 10% of tool radius

@P8

Radius of plunge helix

Default value = 50% of tool radius

@P15

Finishing allowance at base

Default value = 0

@P16

Finishing allowance at edge

Default value = 0

@P20

Feed rate for roughing for milling in the XY plane (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

@P21

Feed rate for roughing in Z (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

@P22

Feed rate for finishing for milling in the XY plane (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

The default value is the feed rate for roughing

@P23

Feed rate for finishing for infeed in Z (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

The default value is the feed rate for finishing for milling in the XY plane

@P25

Spindle speed for finishing (specified in rpm)

Default is the spindle speed at cycle call

@P30

Machining direction

"ClimbMilling" or 0: Down milling (default)

"UpCutMilling" or 1: Up milling

@P31

Machining mode:

"Roughing" or 1: Roughing

"Finishing" or 2: Finishing

"Roughing+Finishing" or 3: Roughing and finishing (default value)

@P32

Feed mode in Z

1: vertical

2: helical (default)

@P135

Maximum infeed in XY for edge finishing

Default value is the maximum infeed in XY for roughing

@P170

Maximum infeed in XY for base finishing

Default value is the maximum infeed in XY for roughing

@P171

Feed rate for plunging in previously milled areas

Default value is the feed rate for roughing for the infeed in Z

@P183

Maximum path with full wrap-around before tool is re-plunged.

Caution: On contours with islands and bottlenecks, full wrap-arounds may occur above this threshold.

By default, the tool is not re-plunged (value = 0).

Available as of CNC Build V3.1.3121.0.

@P184

Maximum path in idle before tool is retracted.

Idling occurs when the milling cutter is positioned at the machining height at the programmed feed rate without removing any material.

This parameter defines the idling distance as of which the milling cutter is retracted and repositioned.

The default value is five times the tool diameter.

Available as of CNC Build V3.1.3121.0.

The function of the parameters acting in the XY plane is derived largely from the graphic below:

It is recommended to use the Syntax check to verify whether the input parameters are correctly assigned.
