Explanation of the input parameters

CYCLE800

The "Swivel plane" cycle is mainly used for milling and drilling on inclined surfaces in the 2D
area. The linear axes X, Y, Z move whereas the rotary axes are only positioned in order to
create a swiveled machining plane (3+2-axis machining).

There are two versions of CYCLE800 for milling:

· CYCLE800 "Swivel plane” and
· CYCLE800 "Tilt tool”

Selection of the local drive

Press the "MENU SELECT" key on the software operator panel.

By pressing HSK 4 "Program Manager", the Program manager operat-

ing area is selected.

- OR -

Select the Program manager operating area directly by pressing the

"PROGRAM MANAGER" key on the software machine control panel.
The new "Local drive" archive should now be used as the storage loca-
tion.

By pressing HSK 5 "Local drive", you open your storage folder and the
cursor is on the symbol of the folder.

Move the cursor to a program with the arrow down key in order to be
able to create a new program.

By pressing VSK 2 "New", a new input screen is opened.

A new machining step program is displayed if you were programming

with ShopMill previously.

Or a new G code program if you were programming with program-

GUIDE G code previously.

Please use this selection.

In the Name input field, enter Swivel as the program name.

The correct extension is generated by the control because Main pro-
gram MPF is selected as Type.

If you now confirm with VSK 8 "OK", you open the programGUIDE edi-
tor. The cursor flashes in the first input line.

If you press HSK 6 "Various", the vertical softkey bar changes.

If you now press VSK 1.2 "Swivel plane", an input screen is opened.

Please close the cycle again without entries or changes with VSK 1.8
"Accept".

CYCLE800 should appear as follows in the editor.

The cycle can be edited again with the Arrow right key.

There are 16 input parameters in the cycle which we have designated as

#1, etc. for a better overview.

CYCLE800(#1,#2,#3,#4,#5,#6,#7,#8,#9,#10,#11,#12,#13,#14,#15,#16)

Parameter TYPE Explanation

#1 INT Retraction
0 No retraction
1 Retraction of machine axis Z
2 Retraction of machine axis Z and then XY

3 Reserved
4 Retraction in tool direction, maximum
5 Retraction in tool direction, incremental

TIP:

You can also use the key combination Shift and Insert to move the cursor with the Arrow right key in the
cycle without having to open the cycle.
