TOLERANCE (Cycle G62)
The TNC automatically smoothes the contour between two path
elements (whether compensated or not). The tool has constant
contact with the workpiece surface. If necessary, the TNC
automatically reduces the programmed feed rate so that the program
can be machined at the fastest possible speed without short pauses
for computing time. As a result the surface quality is improved and the
machine is protected.
A contour deviation results from the smoothing. The size of this
deviation (tolerance value) is set in a machine parameter by the
machine manufacturer. With Cycle G62, you can change the pre-set
tolerance value and select different filter settings.
Example: NC block
N78 G62 T0.05 P01 0 P02 5*
Machine and control must be specially prepared by the
machine tool builder for use of this cycle.
The input parameters Finishing/roughing and Tolerance
for rotary axes
are effective only if the HSC filter
(software option 2) is active on your machine. The TNC
will otherwise display an error message. If necessary,
contact your machine tool builder.
Before programming, note the following:
Cycle G62 is DEF active which means that it becomes
effective as soon as it is defined in the part program.
You can reset Cycle G62 by defining Cycle G62 again and
confirming the dialog question after the Tolerance value
with NO ENT. Resetting Cycle 32 reactivates the pre-set
tolerance:
