Hi guys

I have the following problem: I am supposed to turn and mill with a 840D but our boss is too stingy to pay for a training.
Now my question: How do I enter the width of my groove steel when I want to turn a bigger groove??

I already had a look at the tool data under technology with DP25—but nothing!
The tool is already measured and two blades applied.

Many thanks in advance!!!

Kind regards

Hello

You can’t enter the width of your tool directly with the contour in the tool data.
You can only enter the tool data indirectly- by defining 2 blades for example for a 3mm wide recessing tool (radial) tool type 520
Left edge D1 L1=100 (X) L2=30 (Z) SL=3 (cut position)
Right edge D2 L1=100 L2=27 SL=4
In cycle 93, you will have basically the following parameter for the control of the groove width
Width WIDG
Beginning point SPL
Starting point left/right
2. D number

In DIN-code
Programmed in a heavy way without knick-knack
e.g. groove 5 mm wide from Z-30 until Z-25 diameter D50 until d45
; Tool change
G18 D1 ; left edge recessing tool active
G96 S200 M4
G0 X52 Z-30
G1 X45 F.1
X52 F5
Z-25 D2 ; right edge recessing tool active
X45 F.1
X52 F5

I hope this helps you!
