4.4 Turning cycles
ICP cutting, longitudinal
Select cut, longitudinal/transverse
Select ICP cutting, longitudinal
The cycle machines the area defined by the starting point and the ICP
contour, taking the oversizes into account.
The tool plunges with the maximum possible angle,
leaving material remaining.
The steeper the tool plunges into the material, the
greater the feed rate decrease (max. 50 %).
Cycle parameters
X, Z Starting point
FK ICP finished part: Name of the contour to be machined
P Infeed depth: Maximum infeed depth
H Contour smoothing
0: With every cut
1: With the last cut
2: No finishing cut
I, K Oversize X, Z
E Plunging behavior:
No input: Automatic feed-rate reduction
E=0: No plunging
E>0: Plunging feed rate in use
SX, SZ Cutting limits (see page 128)
G47 Safety clearance (see page 128)
G14 Tool change point (see page 128)
T Turret pocket number
ID Tool ID number
S Spindle speed/cutting speed
F Feed per revolution
BP Break duration: Time span for interruption of the feed. The
chip is broken by the (intermittent) interruption of the feed.
BF Feed duration: Time interval until the next break. The chip
is broken by the (intermittent) interruption of the feed.
A Approach angle (reference: Z-axis)—(default: parallel
to Z axis)
W Departure angle (reference: Z axis)—(default: orthogonal
to Z axis)
