SkiveAll Cycle

The SkiveAll machine cycle is available for both SIEMENS Sinumerik and Fanuc controls. It enables the parametric execution of the process parameters previously designed in SkiveAll Basic. These are transferred in a defined interface file as Sub Program Files (SPF) or in an O file in Fanuc. This makes even complex multi-cut strategies easy to apply via plug and play: the machine operator can be sure that the process parameters for each cut, such as feed rate, infeed and overflow path, are correct. If necessary, however, so-called kappa tracking or individual sigma values can also be cleanly designed for each cut and executed on the machine without risk.

The cycle is always adapted to the architecture of the specific machine so that, for example, it is possible to pivot around the A-axis as well as the B-axis. To do this, the general SkiveAll coordinate system is transformed into the respective machine coordinates. In addition, safety levels and various settings are specified when the cycle is called up.
