HEIDENHAIN TNC 426, TNC 430 275
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 Pitch circle diameter Q244: Enter the diameter of
the pitch circle
U Second side length Q219: 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 Starting angle Q245 (absolute value): Enter the polar
angle of the starting point
U Angular length Q248 (incremental value): Enter the
angular length of the slot
U Infeed for finishing Q338 (incremental value):
Infeed per cut. Q338=0: Finishing in one infeed.
