5.6 CONTOUR GROOVE (G235)
This is a menu for machining the arbitrary groove.
By pushing [C-GROV], the following pop-up window is displayed.
The all items are changed according to “MACH. PROCESS”.
MACH.
PROCESS
: Select the machining process from the following
soft-keys.
[ROUGH (roughing)], [B-FIN (bottom finishing)],
[S-FIN (side finishing)], [HOLE (Drilling)]
END POINT Z
: Z coordinate of the final machined surface.
REMOVAL
DEPTH
: The depth of the pocket.
REMOVAL
PITCH
: The machining allowance of one pass for rough
cutting, in Z direction. Cutting is done in one pass
if no input. ( For ROUGH )
BOTTOM
FINISH
: The bottom machining allowance for bottom
finish cutting. This is cut in one pass. Bottom
finish cutting is not done if no input. ( Except
CHAMF )
SIDE FINISH
: The side machining allowance for side finish
cutting. Side finish cutting is not done if no input.
( Except S-FIN )
FEED RATE
: The feed rate of the tool.
CUTTING
WIDTH %
: The machining allowance of one path in the XY
direction. It is specified a rate (%) of the tool.
( less than 70% ) ( Except S-FIN )
Z-CUT FEED
RATE
: The cutting feed rate in Z axis direction from
point R.
(Point R = END POINT Z + REMOVAL DEPTH
+ CLEARANCE)
( Except HOLE )
ROUGH
D-CODE
: D code number of milling tool for rough
machining.
It needs to calculate the pre-hole position.
( For HOLE only )
