4.8 Milling cycles
Engraving, radial
The "Radial engraving" cycle engraves character strings in linear layout
on the face of the workpiece. For character table and more
information, see page 335
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 dimension): Tool pre-positioning
Z Starting point: Tool pre-positioning
C Spindle angle: Workpiece spindle pre-positioning
TX Text to be engraved

X2 End point (diameter dimension): X position, infeed depth during
engraving.

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.
