8 Cycles<br />

8.3 SL Cycles<br />

ROUGH-OUT (Cycle 6)<br />

8-18<br />

Process<br />

Cycle 6 specifies the cutting path and partitioning.<br />

• The tool is positioned in the tool axis above the first infeed point, taking<br />

the finishing allowance into account.<br />

• Then the tool penetrates into the workpiece at the programmed feed<br />

rate for pecking.<br />

Milling the contour:<br />

• The tool mills the first subcontour at the specified feed rate, taking the<br />

finishing allowance into account.<br />

• When the tool returns to the infeed point, it is advanced to the next<br />

pecking depth.<br />

This process is repeated until the programmed milling depth is reached.<br />

• Further contours are milled in the same manner.<br />

Roughing out pockets:<br />

• After milling the contour the pocket is roughed out. The stepover is<br />

defined by the tool radius. Islands are jumped over.<br />

• If necessary, pockets can be cleared out with several downfeeds.<br />

• At the end of the cycle the tool returns to the setup clearance.<br />

Required tool<br />

This cycle requires a center cut end mill (ISO 1641) if the pocket is not<br />

separately pilot drilled or if the tool must repeatedly jump over contours.<br />

Input data<br />

• SETUP CLEARANCE A<br />

• MILLING DEPTH B<br />

• PECKING DEPTH C<br />

• FEED RATE FOR PECKING:<br />

Traversing speed of the tool during penetration<br />

• FINISHING ALLOWANCE D :<br />

Allowance in the machining plane (positive number)<br />

• ROUGH-OUT ANGLE α :<br />

Feed direction for roughing out. The rough-out angle is relative to the<br />

angle reference axis and can be set such that the resulting cuts are as<br />

long as possible with few cutting movements.<br />

• FEED RATE:<br />

Traversing speed of the tool in the machining plane.<br />

Machine parameters determine whether<br />

• the contour is first milled and then surface machined, or vice-versa<br />

• the contour is milled conventionally or by climb milling<br />

• all pockets are first roughed out to the full milling depths and then<br />

contour milled, or vice-versa<br />

• contour milling and roughing out are performed together for each<br />

pecking depth.<br />
