6.15 Automatic Working Plan Generation (AWG)
Machining sequence for engraving
Machining sequence for finish-milling
Machining sequence for parting and rechucking
Main machining Submachining Location Execution
Engraving Contour analysis: Determining milling contours with
“Engraving” attribute.
Sequence – Location:
 Front (also machines Y front)
 Lateral surface (also machines Y surface)
– then the elements are machined according to the sequence of
geometrical definition
– – Machining all milling contours with the attribute “Engraving” on
all machining locations
Contour, slot (*) Location Machining all milling contours with the attribute “Engraving” on
the selected machining location
*: Define the type of contour
Main machining Submachining Location Execution
Finish-milling Contour analysis: Determining the milling contours.
Sequence – Milling operation:
 Linear and circular slots
 Open contours
 Closed contours (pockets), single surfaces and centric
polygons
Sequence – Location:
 Front (also machines Y front)
 Lateral surface (also machines Y surface)
– then the elements are machined according to the sequence
of geometrical definition
– – Execution of all milling contours on all machining locations
Contour, slot, pocket (*) Location Execution of all milling contours on the selected machining
location
Contour, slot, pocket (*) Location Execution of all milling contours on the selected machining
location
*: Define the milling operation
Main machining Submachining Location Execution
Parting – – The workpiece is cut off.
Full-surface machining – The workpiece is cut off and transferred to the opposing
spindle.
Rechucking Full-surface machining –  Machine with opposing spindle: The workpiece is
transferred to the opposing spindle.
 Machine with one spindle: The workpiece is rechucked
manually.
