Outline generation

Parameter Meaning Default value Units
End mill diameter Diameter of contour end mill used for board outline milling 1.0 mm
Drill diameter Diameter of drill used to perforate the tab holding the board in the panel 0.6 mm
Holes count Number of holes used to perforate the tab 0.6 mm
Holes spacing Distance between holes in tab perforation 0.05 mm

Feeds

Parameter Meaning Default value Units
Feed XY Default feed on X and Y axes (speed with which tool moves during milling) 300 mm/min
Feed Z Default feed on Z axis (speed with which tool moves descending to working height) 200 mm/min
Feed for arcs Feed for arcs specified as a percent from Feed XY 50 %

Speed

Parameter Meaning Default value Units
Speed Value of speed parameter passed to the machine controller for milling operation (PWM width of control pulse in case of Cirqoid machines) 1390 ms

Heights

Parameter Meaning Default value Units
Clearance Default value of clearance – the height above the board, the program uses to move the tool between tool paths 5 mm
Safety height Default value of safety height – the height above the board, where tool switches from rapid descend to feed on Z axis, when descending to working level 2 mm
Z offset Z offset, which is used as a starting point in Z offset establishing procedure mm
Working height The depth of tool engagement in laminate -2 mm

All heights are specified in work coordinate system (i.e. taking into account Z offset).
