Cycle parameters
U
Milling depth
Q1 (incremental): Distance between
the cylindrical surface and the floor of the contour. 
Input range: -99999.9999 to 99999.9999
U
Finishing allowance for side
Q3 (incremental):
Finishing allowance on the slot wall. The finishing 
allowance reduces the slot width by twice the 
entered value. Input range -99999.9999 to 
99999.9999
U
Setup clearance
Q6 (incremental): Distance between
the tool tip and the cylinder surface. Input range 0 to 
99999.9999, alternatively PREDEF
U
Plunging depth
Q10 (incremental): Infeed per cut.
Input range: -99999.9999 to 99999.9999
U
Feed rate for plunging
Q11: Traversing speed of the
tool in the spindle axis. Input range 0 to 99999.9999, 
alternatively FAUTO, FU, FZ
U
Feed rate for milling
Q12: Traversing speed of the
tool in the working plane. Input range 0 to 
99999.9999, alternatively FAUTO, FU, FZ
U
Cylinder radius
Q16: Radius of the cylinder on which
the contour is to be machined. Input range 0 to 
99999.9999
U
Dimension type? ang./lin.
Q17: The dimensions for
the rotary axis of the subprogram are given either in 
degrees (0) or in mm/inches (1).
U
Slot width
Q20: Width of the slot to be machined.
Input range -99999.9999 to 99999.9999
U
Tolerance?
Q21: If you use a tool smaller than the
programmed slot width Q20, process-related 
distortion occurs on the slot wall wherever the slot 
follows the path of an arc or oblique line. If you define 
the tolerance Q21, the TNC adds a subsequent 
milling operation to ensure that the slot dimensions 
are a close as possible to those of a slot that has been 
milled with a tool exactly as wide as the slot. With 
Q21 you define the permitted deviation from this 
ideal slot. The number of subsequent milling 
operations depends on the cylinder radius, the tool 
used, and the slot depth. The smaller the tolerance is 
defined, the more exact the slot is and the longer the 
remachining takes. Recommendation: Use a 
tolerance of 0.02 mm. Function inactive: Enter 0 
(default setting) Input range 0 to 9.9999
