62 First Steps with the iTNC 530
1.3 Programming the First Part
Define a workpiece blank
Immediately after you have created a new program, the TNC starts the
dialog for entering the workpiece blank definition. Always define the
workpiece blank as a cuboid by entering the MIN and MAX points,
each with reference to the selected reference point.
After you have created a new program, the TNC automatically initiates
the workpiece blank definition and asks for the required data:
U Spindle axis Z?: Enter the active spindle axis. Z is saved as default
setting. Accept with the ENT key
U Def BLK FORM: Min-corner?: Smallest X coordinate of the workpiece
blank with respect to the reference point, e.g. 0. Confirm with the
ENT key

blank with respect to the reference point, e.g. 0. Confirm with the
ENT key
U Def BLK FORM: Min-corner?: Smallest Z coordinate of the workpiece
blank with respect to the reference point, e.g. -40. Confirm with the

U Def BLK FORM: Max-corner?: Largest X coordinate of the workpiece

ENT key
