Polygon milling roughing G843
G843 roughs centric polygons defined with G477 Geo (XY plane) or
G487 Geo (YZ plane). The cycle mills from the outside toward the
inside.
”U” defines the overlapping of the milling paths. ”V” defines the
distance by which the tool should pass the outside radius of the
workpiece. (”U, V” refer to the tool diameter.)
The tool moves to the working plane outside of the workpiece
material.
Cycle run
1 Starting position (X, Y, Z, C) is the position before the cycle
begins.
2 Calculates the cutting segmentation (infeeds to the working
planes, infeeds in the working plane) and the spindle position.
3 Spindle turns to the first position. The tool moves to the safety
clearance and plunges to the first milling depth.
4 Mills one plane.
5 Retracts by the safety clearance, returns and cuts to the next
milling depth.
6 Repeats steps 4 and 5 until the complete surface is milled.
7 The tool retracts to ”return plane J.” The spindle turns to the
next position. The tool moves to the safety clearance and
plunges to the first milling depth.
8 Repeats 4 to 7 until all polygonal surfaces are milled.
9 Retracts to ”return plane J.”
Parameters
NS: Block number – reference to contour description
P: (Maximum) milling depth (infeed in the working plane)
I, K: Allowance in X, Z direction
U: (Minimum) overlap factor (overlap = U * tool diameter) –
default: 0.5
V: Overrun factor (overrun = V * tool diameter) – default: 0.5
F: Feed rate for infeed – default: Active feed rate
J: Return plane – no entry: Tool returns to the starting position
■ XY plane: Return position in Z direction
■ YZ plane: Return position in X direction (diameter)

Cycles
Allowances are taken into account (G57:
X, Z direction; G58: equidistant oversize
in the milling plane).
