_VRT (variable retraction path)
The retraction path can be programmed on the basis of the initial thread diameter in the
_VRT parameter. For _VRT = 0 (parameter not programmed), the retraction path is 1 mm.
The retraction path is always measured according to the programmed measuring system,
inch or metric.
Programming example: Thread chain
You can use this program to produce a thread chain starting with a cylindrical thread. The
infeed is performed vertically to the thread; neither finishing allowance, nor starting point
offset are programmed. Five roughing cuts and one noncut are performed. The machining
type is defined as longitudinal, external, with constant cross-section of cut.
