The function must be set up by the machine manufacturer. 
 
Machining 
 
•  Swarf removal 
The drill is retracted from the workpiece for swarf removal. 
•  Chipbreaking 
The drill is retracted by the retraction distance V2 for chipbreaking. 
 
Drilling depth 
 
•  Shank (drilling depth in relation to the shank) 
The drill is inserted into the workpiece until the drill shank reaches the value 
programmed for Z1. The angle entered in the tool list is taken into account. 
•  Tip (drilling depth in relation to the tip) 
The drill is inserted into the workpiece until the drill tip reaches the value 
programmed for Z1. 
Note: If it is not possible to define an angle for the drill in the tool management, it will 
not be possible to select tip or shank (always tip, 0 field) 
 
Z1 
 
Drilling depth (abs) or drilling depth in relation to Z0 (inc) 
It is inserted into the workpiece until it reaches Z1.
