• Z START—defines the location where Plunge Feedrate beings. The feedrate is
set in the Plunge Feed field.
• R PLANE—defines an absolute position, relative to the surface of the part.
The cycle will rapid to this location before feeding to Z Bottom.
• Z BOTTOM—defines the bottom coordinate and the location where the
Plunge Feedrate ends.
• TEXT—contains the text for the lettering block.
• LINEAR Y MOTION checkbox—select this checkbox to cause Y-Axis Motion
using the X and X’ axes. When this checkbox is clear, Y-Axis Motion occurs
using the X and C axes. Please refer to Programming Coordinates and Linear
Y Motion, on page 2 - 68 for examples. This field is available with TMX MY and
TMX MYS series machines.
• C—defines the angle to position the C-Axis. This field appears when Linear Y
Motion checkbox is selected. This field is available with TMX MY and TMX MYS
series machines.
• SPACE BETWEEN CHARS—adds space between characters in addition to
the space used with the selected font.
• HEIGHT REF LOC—specifies Bottom, Center, or Top of the character based
on the (X, Y) or (R, C) reference point. The default is Bottom.
• HEIGHT—defines the height of the text character(s). When the Width field
contains 0, the font and Height field calculate width.
• WIDTH REF LOCATION—specifies Start, Center, or End of the character for
the Y/ reference point. The default is Start.
• ORIENTATION—defines the start angle of the direction for the lettering on
the stock.
• COORDINATES—specifies Rectangular or Polar for the coordinates. The axes
listed on the screen change depending upon this selection.
Linear Y-Axis Motion is limited. The amount of Y travel is affected by
the X position and by any X-Axis tool length offset.
