Parameter Description Unit
(only for
ShopTurn)
Clamp/release spindle (only for end face C/peripheral surface C, if inserted vertically)
The function must be set up by the machine manufacturer.
FZ
(only for G code)
Depth infeed rate – (for vertical insertion only) *
FZ
(only for
ShopTurn)
Depth infeed rate – (for vertical insertion only) mm/min
mm/tooth
EP Maximum pitch of helix – (for helical insertion only) mm/rev
ER Radius of helix – (for helical insertion only)
The radius cannot be any larger than the milling cutter radius; otherwise, material will
remain.
mm
EW Maximum insertion angle – (for insertion with oscillation only) Degrees
Solid machining
(for roughing only)
• Complete machining
The rectangular pocket is milled from the solid material.
• Post machining
The size of any existing smaller rectangular pocket or hole is increased in several
axes. You must program parameters AZ, W1 and L1 for this purpose.
AZ Depth of premachining – (for remachining only) mm
W1 Width of premachining – (for remachining only) mm
L1 Length of premachining – (for remachining only) mm
FS Chamfer width for chamfering - (for chamfering only) mm
ZFS Insertion depth of tool tip (abs or inc) – (for chamfering only) mm
* Unit of feedrate as programmed before the cycle call
