Ring Pocket Cycle
Use the ring pocket cycle to mill a circular frame or trough around a
circular island of material. You must position the tool directly over
the center of the island, or use the X Y words.
Activate the tool prior to programming, so the cutter diameter is
known.
Field Code Description
IslandDia D Diameter of island in X/Y axes. (Required)
StartHgt H Z absolute starting height (0.1” or 2 mm
above surface). Executed in rapid.
(Required)
ZDepth Z Absolute depth of frame pocket. (Required)
Frame
Width
C Width of removed trough or frame.
(Required)
StepOver A The distance the tool steps over (width of
cut) in the X and Y axes as it mills out the
pocket. Defaults to tool radius, which is the
max.
XCenter X X coordinate of the island center point.
Defaults to current position.
YCenter Y Y coordinate of the island center point.
Defaults to current position.
DepthCut B The depth of each cut per pass. Defaults to
tool diameter. Max is the full ZDepth in
parameter Z, less bottom finish stock. A
negative value will cause the finish pass to
finish the side walls in steps down.
