159 HEIDENHAIN TNC 410
CIRCULAR PATTERN (Cycle 220)
1 At rapid traverse, the TNC moves the tool from its current
position to the starting point for the first machining operation.
The tool is positioned in the following sequence:
■ Move to 2nd set-up clearance (tool axis)
■ Approach starting point in the working plane
■ Move to set-up clearance above the workpiece surface
(tool axis)
2 From this position, the TNC executes the last defined fixed cycle.
3 The tool then approaches the starting point for the next
machining operation on a straight line at set-up clearance (or 2nd
set-up clearance).
4 This process (1 to 3) is repeated until all machining operations
have been executed.
Before programming, note the following:
Cycle 220 is DEF active, which means that Cycle 220
automatically calls the last defined fixed cycle.
If you combine Cycle 220 with one of the fixed cycles
200 to 204 and 212 to 215, the set-up clearance,
workpiece surface and 2nd set-up clearance that you
defined in Cycle 220 will be effective for the selected
fixed cycle.
ú Center in 1st axis Q216 (absolute value): Center of the
pitch circle in the main axis of the working plane
ú Center in 2nd axis Q217 (absolute value): Center of the
pitch circle in the secondary axis of the working plane
ú Pitch circle diameter Q244: Diameter of the pitch circle
ú Starting angle Q245 (absolute value): Angle between
the main axis of the working plane and the starting
point for the first machining operation on the pitch
circle
ú Stopping angle Q246 (absolute value): Angle between
the main axis of the working plane and the starting
point for the last machining operation on the pitch
circle (does not apply to complete circles). Do not
enter the same value for the stopping angle and
starting angle. If you enter the stopping angle greater
than the starting angle, machining will be carried out
counterclockwise; otherwise, machining will be
clockwise.
ú ANGLE STEP Q247 (incremental): Angle between two
machining operations on a pitch circle. If you enter an
ANGLE STEP of 0, the TNC will calculate the ANGLE
STEP from the STARTING and STOPPING
ANGLES and the number of pattern repetitions. If you
enter a value other than 0, the TNC will not take the
STOPPING ANGLE into account. The sign for the ANGLE
STEP determines the working direction (- = clockwise).
