Cutting and infeed directions for recessing
cycles
The CNC PILOT automatically determines the cutting and infeed
directions from the cycle parameters. The decisive ones are:
 Basic mode: The parameters for starting point X, Z (Manual mode:
current tool position) and contour starting point X1 / contour end
point Z2
 Expanded mode: The parameters for contour starting point X1, Z1
and contour end point X2, Z2.
 ICP cycles: The parameters for starting point X, Z (Manual mode:
current tool position) and starting point of the ICP contour
The recessing cycle group comprises recessing, recess
turning, undercut and parting cycles. Simple contours are
machined in basic mode,, complex contours in
expanded mode. ICP recessing cycles machine contours
defined with ICP (see “ICP contours” auf Seite 374).
 Proportioning of cuts: The CNC PILOT calculates a
constant recessing width that is <= P.
 Oversizes are considered in "expanded" mode.
 Cutter radius compensation is conducted (exception:
Undercut type K).
