Plunge Milling / Roughing: CNC Secret Weapon [ Complete …

Plunge Milling is a type of CAM Toolpath, though it can be programmed manually as we will see. The idea, is to rough out a pocket, profile, or 3D surface by plunging either a twist drill, an endmill, or a special-purpose milling cutter straight down into the material. Here's a typical example:

What is backlash? Detail of CNC machine tool backlash in …

Fanuc and Fanuc compatible machining center controls use a G60 word to specify the single direction positioning mode. Note that G60 is modal and must be canceled (with G64 with Fanuc controls) once you're done machining holes. The distance and direction for the approach is set by parameters (not programmable for most controls).

Fanuc > Fanuc compensation A, B, C

Sometimes I use the H wear column to switch what I measured a ball end mill length at, and add a negative number to that to represent the core of the ball. A lot of times I'll program a ball mill from the ball core instead of the tip. Say I had a 1/2" ball end mill, measured it and got -14.3788 and entered that into the first H column.

Renishaw Ballbar Test

Pitch, Roll and Yaw Definitions. Pitch [1] - An angular deviation possible in positioning systems, in which the table leading edge rises or falls as the table translates along the direction of travel. This represents rotation around a horizontal axis, perpendicular to the axis of travel. Roll [2] - An angular deviation from ideal straight line ...

Fanuc > polygon milling (Fanuc Oi-TD)

With the Polygonal turning, a special tool is run in a spindle synchronic way. The function is an option. If you don't have ManualGuide, then it's very likely that this option is also not active either. When G50.2 is set, the synchronisation of spindle and Y axis is cancelled, and the Y axis stops.
