Using Pocket Milling Cycles

Chapter 22

22-13

Use the G88.1 pocket milling roughing cycle to enlarge an existing circular
pocket in a workpiece. This cycle makes multiple circular cuts at a
programmed width and depth.

The G88.1 block used to enlarge an existing circular pocket has this
format:

G88.1

X__Y__Z__R__Q__P__H__D__L__E__F__;

Where :

Is :

X Y

The coordinates that specify the center of the original circular pocket.

Z

The coordinate (along the plunging axis) that specifies the bottom of the circular
pocket.

R

The radius of the original circular pocket. This parameter must be programmed.

Q

Unsigned incremental value that specifies how much the original circular pocket
should be enlarged. This parameter must be programmed. The radius of the
enlarged circular pocket is equal to R + Q.

P

Direction of roughing cut.

H

Finish allowance.

D

Roughing cut thickness.

L

Incremental plunge depth.

E

Plunge feedrate.

F

Roughing feedrate.
