Description
Machining
The following machining operations can be selected:
∇ (roughing)
•
∇∇∇ base (base finishing)
•
∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)
•
Chamfering
•
Z0
Reference point in the tool axis Z
Z1
Pocket depth (abs) or depth relative to Z0 (inc)
- (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇ edge)
DXY
Maximum plane infeed
•
Maximum plane infeed as a percentage of the milling cutter diameter
•
- (only for ∇ or ∇∇∇ base)
DZ
Maximum depth infeed – (only for ∇ or ∇∇∇ edge)
UXY
Plane finishing allowance – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇ edge)
UZ
Depth finishing allowance – (only for ∇ or ∇∇∇ base)
Starting point
Manual
•
Starting point is manually entered
Automatic
•
Starting point is automatically calculated
- (only for ∇ or ∇∇∇ base)
XS
Starting point X - (only for "manual" starting point)
YS
Starting point Y - (only for "manual" starting point)
