Example of dressing cycles
This programming example illustrates dressing mode.
The NC program uses the following grinding cycles:
- Cycle 1030 ACTIVATE WHEEL EDGE
- Cycle 1010 DRESSING DIAMETER
Program sequence
- Start milling mode
- Tool call: Grinding pin
- Define Cycle 1030 ACTIVATE WHEEL EDGE
- Tool call: Dressing tool (no mechanical tool change; only a calculated switch-over)
- Cycle 1010 DRESSING DIAMETER
- Activate FUNCTION DRESS END
NC programs contained in this User's Manual are suggestions for solutions. The NC programs or individual NC blocks must be adapted before being used on a machine.
Change the following contents as needed:
- Tools
- Cutting parameters
- Feed rates
- Clearance height or safe position
- Machine-specific positions (e.g., with M91)
- Paths of program calls
Some NC programs depend on the machine kinematics. Adapt these NC programs to your machine kinematics before the first test run.
In addition, test the NC programs using the simulation before the actual program run.
With a program test you determine whether the NC program can be used with the available software options, the active machine kinematics and the current machine configuration.
