iTNC530 for detecting the amount of intelligent milling of version 04 software

Cycle 25 (contour chain) is used in conjunction with cycle 14 (contour) to machine open and closed contours. The new margin detection cycle makes milling more intelligent: the milling cutter only processes corners and fillets that are not possible in roughing – no movement along the entire contour.

New parameters:

Q18-Roughing cutter: The tool number or tool name used when the TNC roughs the contour. The TNC calculates the contour to be machined according to the previously used milling cutter diameter. The TNC then moves the tool to the appropriate position. Enter "0" if roughing is not performed. The CNC system uses the current tool to machine the contour as much as possible.

Q446 - Balance: The minimum margin thickness of the TNC without machining contours. Default: 0.01mm

Q447 - Connection distance: The maximum distance between two semi-finished parts, within which the tool moves along the contour at the machining depth and there is no retraction movement.

Q448 - Path extension: The tool path extends this length at the start and end points of the contour. The TNC always extends the tool path parallel to the contour.
