Clamp/release spindle 
The function must be set up by the machine manufacturer. 
 
Z1    End point of the thread (abs) or thread length (inc) - only for G code and "ShopTurn 
machining surface face") 
It is inserted into the workpiece until it reaches Z1.

machining without 
encoder) 
 
(only for G code) 
•  User input 
Pitch is obtained from the input 
•  Active feedrate 
Pitch is obtained from the feedrate
