    Fadal 4020

    Hello friends!

    I´m new here, located in Austria and since a few mounths user of a Fadal 4020 with 88HS control system (and untrained such in english than in programming 88HS) and ask for help!
    In using a circle pocket cycle I cannot find the possibility to mill the pocket in steps! It always mills the fully depth in 1 cycle!!! This is not usable for a Pocket with 9mm Dia and 30mm depth.
    The problem is always the same in the other pocket cycles and the drill / mill function.
    Please, can you give me an idea to crack the trouble?

    With best regards

    Guenter

    You need to add a subroutine and a z depth increment each time you bore. Or get a CAD system (best option)
    We have had good luck with our Fadals milling mostly soft steel and aluminum up to 5 axis. We are always looking for spare parts If you have a broken down Fadal give a shout.
