7 Programming with Q Parameters
7.8 Example for exercise
TNC 360
Three-dimensional machining (machining a hemisphere with an end mill)
Notes on the program:
• The tool moves upwards in the ZX plane.
• You can enter an oversize in block 12 (Q12)
if you want to machine the contour in
several steps.
• The tool radius is automatically compensated
with parameter Q108.
The program works with the following values:
• Solid angle: Start angle Q1
End angle Q2
Increment Q3
• Sphere radius Q4
• Setup clearance Q5
• Plane angle: Start angle Q6
End angle Q7
Increment Q8
• Center of sphere: X coordinate Q9
Y coordinate Q10
• Milling feed rate Q11
• Oversize Q12
The parameters additionally defined in the
program have the following meanings:
• Q15: Setup clearance above the sphere
• Q21: Solid angle during machining
• Q24: Distance from center of sphere
to center of tool
• Q26: Plane angle during machining
• Q108: TNC parameter with tool radius
