Rectangular pocket milling

The TNC cycle for rectangular pocket milling is available in the PO-
SITIONING WITH MDI

mode of operation.

The input data for milling a rectangular pocket can also be entered

as a “cycle” in a part program (see Chapter 7).

Select the “Pocket Milling” soft key on the second soft-key row and

enter the required data. These data can usually be taken from the

workpiece drawing (side length, depth of the pocket, etc.).
The TNC controls the machine tool and calculates the tool path for

area clearance.

For the procedure and input data required for programming a rec-

tangular pocket, see Chapter 7.
