CIRCULAR STUD FINISHING (Cycle 215)
1 The TNC automatically moves the tool in the tool axis to set-up
clearance, or—if programmed—to the 2nd set-up clearance, and
subsequently to the center of the stud.
2 From the stud center, the tool moves in the working plane to the
starting point for machining. The starting point lies to the right of
the stud by a distance approx. 2 times the tool radius.
3 If the tool is at the 2nd set-up clearance, it moves in rapid traverse
FMAX to set-up clearance, and from there advances to the first
plunging depth at the feed rate for plunging.
4 The tool then moves tangentially to the contour of the finished part
and, using climb milling, machines one revolution.
5 The tool then departs the contour on a tangential path and returns
to the starting point in the working plane.
6 This process (3 to 5) is repeated until the programmed depth is
reached.
7 At the end of the cycle, the TNC retracts the tool in FMAX to set-
up clearance, or—if programmed—to the 2nd set-up clearance,
and finally to the center of the pocket (end position = starting
position).

Before programming, note the following:
The TNC automatically pre-positions the tool in the tool
axis and working plane.
The algebraic sign for the cycle parameter DEPTH
determines the working direction. If you program DEPTH
= 0, the cycle will not be executed.
If you want to clear and finish the stud with the same tool,
use a center-cut end mill (ISO 1641) and enter a low feed
rate for plunging.
