Required input parameters:

Input parameters

Description

@P1

Reference plane (absolute)

@P2

Retraction plane (absolute)

@P3

Safety clearance in Z (relative to reference plane/machining height)

@P4

Depth (relative to reference plane)

@P5

Maximum infeed in Z

@P50

Identification number of the path contour

Optional input parameters:

Input parameters

Description

@P6 (optional)

Infeed in XY to remove the additional roughing allowance (@P95).

The default value is the current tool radius

(Maximum V.G.WZ_AKT.R is recommended to avoid residual material)

@P15 (optional)

Finishing allowance at base

Default value = 0

@P16 (optional)

Finishing allowance at edge (only when tool radius compensation is active @P6)

Default value = 0

@P20 (optional)

Feedrate for roughing for milling in the XY plane (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

@P21 (optional)

Feedrate for infeed in Z (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

@P22 (optional)

Feedrate for finishing for infeed in Z (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

The default value is the feedrate for roughing

@P23 (optional)

Feedrate for finishing for milling in the XY plane (specified in mm/min, inch/min)

The default value is the feedrate for roughing

@P25 (optional)

Spindle speed for finishing

@P30 (optional)

Machining direction

0: Forward (default value)

1: Backward

@P31 (optional)

Machining mode:

1: Roughing (default value)

2: Finishing

3: Roughing and finishing

@P32 (optional)

Infeed mode in Z

1: Vertical at start and end of machining movement (default value)

2: In space during approach and withdrawal movements

@P75 (optional)

Tool radius compensation

0: Off (default value

1: Left of path contour

2: Right of path contour

@P90 (optional)

Approach movement

0: No approach movement (default value)

1: Straight line:

2: Quadrant

3: Semicircle

@P91 (optional)

Length (straight line) / radius (quadrant/semicircle) of the approach movement

Default value = 0

@P92 (optional)

Withdrawal movement

0: No withdrawal movement (default value)

1: Straight line:

2: Quadrant

3: Semicircle

@P93 (optional)

Length (straight line) / radius (quadrant/semicircle) of the withdrawal movement

Default value = 0

@P95 (optional)

Additional roughing allowance (results in removal of the contour path multiple times)

Default value = 0

@P135 (optional)

Maximum infeed in XY for edge finishing

The default value is the current tool radius
