Please note while programming:
This cycle requires a center-cut end mill (ISO 1641) or pilot 
drilling with Cycle 21.
You define the plunging behavior of Cycle 22 with 
parameter Q19 and with the tool table in the ANGLE and 
LCUTS
columns:
If Q19=0 is defined, the TNC always plunges 
perpendicularly, even if a plunge angle (ANGLE) is defined 
for the active tool.
If you define the ANGLE=90°, the TNC plunges 
perpendicularly. The reciprocation feed rate Q19 is used 
as plunging feed rate.
If the reciprocation feed rate Q19 is defined in Cycle 22 
and ANGLE is defined between 0.1 and 89.999 in the tool 
table, the TNC plunges helically at the defined ANGLE.
If the reciprocation feed is defined in Cycle 22 and no 
ANGLE
is in the tool table, the TNC displays an error
message.
If geometrical conditions do not allow helical plunging 
(slot geometry), the TNC tries a reciprocating plunge. 
The reciprocation length is calculated from LCUTS and 
ANGLE
(reciprocation length = LCUTS / tan ANGLE).
If you clear out an acute inside corner and use an overlap 
factor greater than 1, some material might be left over. 
Check especially the innermost path in the test run graphic 
and, if necessary, change the overlap factor slightly. This 
allows another distribution of cuts, which often provides 
the desired results.
During fine roughing the TNC does not take a defined wear 
value DR of the coarse roughing tool into account.
Feed rate reduction through parameter Q401 is an FCL3 
function and is not automatically available after a software 
update (see “Feature content level (upgrade functions)” 
on page 8).
