8.3 Contour milling

Residual material contour pocket (CYCLE63)

When you have removed stock from a pocket (with/without islands) and there is residual

material, then this is automatically detected. You can use a suitable tool to remove this

residual material without having to machine the whole pocket again, i.e. avoiding

unnecessary non-productive motion. Material that remains as part of the finishing allowance

is not residual material.

The residual material is calculated on the basis of the milling cutter used for stock removal.

If you mill several pockets and want to avoid unnecessary tool changes, remove stock from

all the pockets first and then remove the residual material. In this case, for removing the

residual material, you also have to enter a value for the reference tool TR parameter, which,

for the ShopMill program, additionally appears when you press the "All parameters" softkey.

When programming, you must then proceed as follows:

1. Contour pocket 1

2. Stock removal

3. Contour pocket 2

4. Stock removal

5. Contour pocket 1

6. Remove residual material

7. Contour pocket 2

8. Remove residual material

Software option

For Stock removal residual material, you require the option "residual material

detection and machining".

The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been

created and you are in the editor.

Press the "Contour milling" and "Pocket Res. Mat." softkeys.

The "Pocket Res. Mat." input window opens.

For the ShopMill program, press the "All parameters" softkey if you

want to enter additional parameters.
