9.13 Changing program settings
Function
All parameters specified in the program header with the exception of the blank shape and the
unit of measurement can be changed at any point in the program. It is also possible to change
the basic setting for the direction of rotation of machining in the case of milling.
The settings in the program header are retentive, i.e. they remain active until they are changed.
Retraction
A changed retraction plane takes effect starting with the safety clearance of the last cycle,
because the additional retraction from the next cycle is accepted.
Machining direction of rotation
The machining direction of rotation (climbing or conventional) is defined as the direction of
movement of the milling tooth with respect to the workpiece. This means ShopTurn evaluates
this parameter in conjunction with the direction of rotation of the spindle for milling, with the
exception of path milling.
The basic setting for the machining direction is programmed in a machine data.
