2. MACHINING MENU DESCRIPTIONS
– 207 –
V : REMOVAL
Input the depth of the pocket. Be sure to input.
K : PITCH
Input the machining allowance of one pass for rough cutting, in the Z direction. Cut dividing the
machining allowance (V – Y) of the rough cutting by the pitch (K) into several passes. The machin-
ing allowance (V–Y) in rough cutting is cut in one pass if not input.
Y : BOTTOM FINISH
Input the bottom machining allowance for bottom finish cutting. Bottom finish cutting is not done
if not input.
X : SIDE FINISH
Input the side machining allowance for side finish cutting. Side finishing cutting is not done if not
input.
YA : FINISH PITCH
Input the pitch in the Z direction in the side finish cutting. If it is not input, the side finishing allowance
is cut in one pass.
C : CHAMFER REMV
Input the chamfering amount. Chamfering is not done if not input.
T : TOOL ID NO.
Input the tool ID number of the final tool to be used.
Refer to the tool file the for the corresponding tool pushing the TOOL DRCTRY soft key.
Be sure to input.
Q : TOOL NAME
The tool name corresponding to the value input to TOOL ID No. (T) is read out of the tool file and
displayed.
B : PROCESS
There are six machining processes available, that is, ”Rough cutting”, ”Bottom finish cutting”, ”Side
finish cutting”, ”Chamfering”, ”Hole machining”, and ”Hole (peck)”.
H : H OFFSET NO.
It is the tool length offset number of the tool used. It is decided automatically by pressing the F.S.
AUTO soft key. It is displayed reading the offset number, which corresponds to the value assigned
to tool ID number, (T) from a tool file.
D : D OFS./DIA.
It is the cutter compensation number of the tool used. For a hole tool, it is the nominal diameter of
the tool used. It is decided automatically using the F.S.AUTO soft key. For the compensation num-
ber or hole tool corresponding to the value entered for TOOL ID NO. (T), the corresponding nominal
diameter is read from the tool file and displayed.
M : COOLANT
It is the coolant selected by this machining menu. It is decided automatically using the soft key F.S.
AUTO. The coolant set by the initial setting menu is displayed. After the automatic setting, the
coolant can be changed as needed.
S : SPINDLE SPEED
It is the speed of the tool spindle. It is decided automatically using the F.S. AUTO soft key. It is
calculated from the cutting condition file data based on the work material, the tool, and the tool di-
ameter, etc. After the automatic setting, the spindle speed (rpm) can be changed as needed.
F : FEED RATE
It is the feed rate of the tool. It is decided automatically using the F.S. AUTO soft key. It is calculated
from the spindle speed (S) and the cutting condition file data. After the automatic setting, the feed
rate can be changed as needed.
E : CUT WIDTH (%)
It is decided automatically by pressing the F.S. AUTO soft key. The actual cutting width is calcu-
lated from the tool diameter and the (%) of the cutting width.
After the automatic setting, the cutting width can be changed as needed.
