Sinumerik SLOT1: Creating Circular Slot Patterns
Sinumerik SLOT1 Slots on a circle
With Sinumerik SLOT1 cycle, slots can be produced arranged on a circle. The longitudinal axis of the slots has a radial orientation In contrast to the elongated hole, a value is specified for the slot width.
Sinumerik SLOT1 cycle is a combined roughing/finishing cycle.
