HEIDENHAIN TNC 426, TNC 430 273
8.4 Cycles for milling pockets, studs and slots
U Set-up clearance Q200 (incremental value): Distance
between tool tip and workpiece surface.
U Depth Q201 (incremental value): Distance between
workpiece surface and bottom of slot
U Feed rate for milling Q207: Traversing speed of the
tool in mm/min while milling.
U Plunging depth Q202 (incremental value): Total
extent by which the tool is fed in the tool axis during
a reciprocating movement
U Machining operation (0/1/2) Q215: Define the
machining operation:
0: Roughing and finishing
1: Only roughing
2: Only finishing
U Workpiece surface coordinate Q203 (absolute
value): Coordinate of the workpiece surface
U 2nd setup clearance Q204 (incremental value):
Z coordinate at which no collision between tool and
workpiece (clamping devices) can occur
U Center in 1st axis Q216 (absolute value): Center of
the slot in the reference axis of the working plane
U Center in 2nd axis Q217 (absolute value): Center of
the slot in the minor axis of the working plane
U First side length Q218 (value parallel to the
reference axis of the working plane): Enter the length
of the slot
U Second side length Q219 (value parallel to the
secondary axis of the working plane): Enter the slot
width. If you enter a slot width that equals the tool
diameter, the TNC will carry out the roughing process
only (slot milling).
U Angle of rotation Q224 (absolute value): Angle by
which the entire slot is rotated. The center of rotation
lies in the center of the slot.
U Infeed for finishing Q338 (incremental value):
Infeed per cut. Q338=0: Finishing in one infeed.
