Engraving, face unit
The unit engraves character strings in linear or polar layout on
the face of the workpiece. Diacritics and special characters that
you cannot enter in smart.Turn operating mode can be defined,
character by character, in NF. If you program Q = 1 (Continue from
last text), tool change and pre-positioning are suppressed. The
technological data of the previous engraving cycle apply.
Unit name: G801_GRA_STIRN_C / cycle: G801
Further information: "Engraving on front face G801", Page 436
Position form:
X, C: Start point and Start. angle (polar)
XK, YK: Start point (Cartesian)
Z: Final point – Z position, infeed depth during milling
RB: Return plane
Cycle form:
TXT: Text to be engraved
NF: Char. no. – ASCII code of the character to be engraved
H: Font height
E: Distance factor (calculation: see figure)
The distance between the characters is calculated according to
the following formula: H / 6 * E
W: Inclinat. ang. of the character string
FZ: Plunging feed rate factor (plunging feed rate = current feed
rate * FZ)
V: Execution (linear/polar)
0: Linear
1: Arched above
2: Arched below
D: Reference diameter
Q: Continue from last text
0 (No): Engraving starts at the starting point
1 (Yes): Engraving starts at the tool position
O: Mirror writing
0 (No): Engraving is not mirrored
1 (Yes): Engraving is mirrored (mirror writing)
