Properties of the subcontours
„ By default, the TNC assumes that the contour is a pocket. Do not
program a radius compensation.
„ The TNC ignores feed rates F and miscellaneous functions M.
„ Coordinate transformations are allowed. If they are programmed
within the subcontour they are also effective in the following
subprograms, but they need not be reset after the cycle call.
„ Although the subprograms can contain coordinates in the spindle
axis, such coordinates are ignored.
„ The working plane is defined in the first coordinate block of the
subprogram.
„ You can define subcontours with various depths as needed
Characteristics of the fixed cycles
„ The TNC automatically positions the tool to the setup clearance
before a cycle.
„ Each level of infeed depth is milled without interruptions since the
cutter traverses around islands instead of over them.
„ The radius of “inside corners” can be programmed—the tool keeps
moving to prevent surface blemishes at inside corners (this applies
for the outermost pass in the Rough-out and Side Finishing cycles).
„ The contour is approached on a tangential arc for side finishing.
„ For floor finishing, the tool again approaches the workpiece on a
tangential arc (for tool axis Z, for example, the arc may be in the Z/X
plane).
„ The contour is machined throughout in either climb or up-cut milling.
The machining data (such as milling depth, finishing allowance and
setup clearance) are entered as CONTOUR DATA in Cycle 20.
