Window for feed rate calculation:
Code letter Meaning
S: Spindle speed (rpm)
Z: Number of teeth on the tool (n)
FZ: Feed per tooth (mm/tooth)
FU: Feed rate per revolution (mm/1)
F= Result for feed rate (mm/min)
You can transfer the feed rate from the TOOL CALL
block into subsequent traversing blocks and cycles by
pressing the F AUTO soft key. If you have to change the
feed rate later, you only need to adjust the feed rate
value in the TOOL CALL block.
