P/N 634 755-22 - Programming Canned Cycles
Frame Pocket Cycle
A Frame Pocket Cycle simplifies the programming required to mill out a
Frame. When executed, the CNC rapids to a starting position near the
island, rapids to StartHgt, then ramps into the work while moving across
the Frame. The CNC cuts from the outside edge to the island in
rectangles of decreasing size to complete the pass.
The Frame Pocket Cycle automatically compensates for tool diameter.
Activate the correct tool diameter before the FramePock block.
If you type a DepthCut value, the CNC executes the number of passes
required to get from the StartHgt to the ZDepth, cutting the DepthCut on
each pass.
Use FinStock to leave the specified stock on the profile and depth for a
finish pass. The CNC cuts the frame to the IslandLen, IslandWid, and
FrameWidth dimensions on the finish pass. Type a negative FinStock
value to leave the finish stock without adding a finish pass.
Leave RoughFeed and FinFeed blank to execute feed moves at the
current feedrate. RoughFeed controls the feedrate of the roughing cycle.
FinFeed controls the feedrate of the finishing cycle.
