SLOT with reciprocating plunge-cut (Cycle G210)
Roughing process
1
At rapid traverse, the TNC positions the tool in the tool axis to the
2nd set-up clearance and subsequently to the center of the left
circle. From there, the TNC positions the tool to the set-up
clearance above the workpiece surface.
2
The tool moves at the feed rate for milling to the workpiece
surface. From there, the cutter advances in the longitudinal
direction of the slot—plunge-cutting obliquely into the material—
until it reaches the center of the right circle.
3
The tool then moves back to the center of the left circle, again with
oblique plunge-cutting. This process is repeated until the
programmed milling depth is reached.
4
For the purpose of face milling, the TNC moves the tool at the
milling depth to the other end of the slot and then back to the
center of the slot.
Finishing process
5
The TNC positions the tool in the center of the left circle and then
moves it tangentially to the left end of the slot. The tool
subsequently climb mills the contour (with M3), and if so entered,
in more than one infeed.
6
When the tool reaches the end of the contour, it departs the
contour tangentially and returns to the center of the left circle.
7
At the end of the cycle, the tool is retracted at rapid traverse to the
set-up clearance and—if programmed—to the 2nd set-up
clearance.
