In the program header, set the following parameters, which are effective for the complete
program.
Parameter Description Unit
Measurement unit
The setting of the measurement unit in the program header only refers to the
position data in the actual program.
All other data, such as feedrate or tool offsets, are entered in the unit of measure
that you have set for the entire machine.
mm
inch
Work offset
The work offset in which the zero point of the workpiece is saved.
You can also delete the default value of the parameter if you do not want to
specify a work offset.
Blank Define the form and dimensions of the workpiece:
• Cylinder
XA Outer diameter ∅ mm
• Polygon
N Number of edges
SW / L
Width across flats
Edge length
mm
• Centered cuboid
W Width of blank mm
L Length of blank mm
• Tube
XA Outer diameter ∅ mm
XI Inner diameter ∅ (abs) or wall thickness (inc) mm
ZA Initial dimension mm
ZI Final dimension (abs) or final dimension in relation to ZA (inc) mm
ZB Machining dimension (abs) or machining dimension in relation to ZA (inc) mm
Retraction The retraction area indicates the area outside of which collision-free traversing of
the axes must be possible.
