HEIDENHAIN CNC PILOT 640 347
4.8 Milling cycles
Engraving, radial
The "Radial engraving" cycle engraves character strings in linear layout
on the lateral surface of the workpiece. For character set and more
information, siehe Seite 349
You define the starting point of the character string in the cycle. If you
do not define a starting point, the cycle starts at the current tool
position.
You can also engrave a logotype with several calls. For this purpose,
specify the starting point with the first call. All other calls are
programmed without a starting point.
Parameters:
X Starting point (diameter): Pre-positioning the tool
Z Starting point: Pre-positioning the tool
C Spindle angle: Pre-positioning the workpiece spindle
TX Text to be engraved
NF Character number: ASCII code of the character to be engraved
X2 End point (diameter): X position, infeed depth during engraving.
Z1 Starting point, first character
C1 Start angle, first character
CY Starting point, first character
D Reference diameter
H Font height
E Distance factor (for calculation see figure)
T Turret pocket number
G14 Tool change point (siehe Seite 140)
ID Tool ID number
S Spindle speed/cutting speed
F Feed per revolution
W Inclination angle of character string
FZ Plunging feed rate factor (plunging feed rate = current feed
rate * F)
RB Retraction plane. X position retracted to for positioning.
