STUD FINISHING (Cycle 213)
1
The TNC 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. 3.5 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
After this, the tool departs the contour tangentially 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 stud (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.
Enter in MP7441 bit 2 whether the TNC should output an
error message (bit 2=1) or not (bit 2=0) if a positive depth
is entered.
Danger of collision!
Keep in mind that the TNC reverses the calculation for pre-
positioning when a positive depth is entered. This
means that the tool moves at rapid traverse in the tool axis
at safety clearance below the workpiece surface!
