Parameter Description Unit
Machining
• ∇ (roughing)
• ∇∇∇ (finishing)
• ∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)
• Chamfering
Machining
position
(only for G code)
• Single position
A multiple edge is milled at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).
• Position pattern
Several multiple edges are milled at the programmed position pattern (e.g. pitch
circle, grid, line).
X0 (only G code)
Y0 (only G code)
Z0
The positions refer to the reference point:
Reference point X – (only for single position)
Reference point Y – (only for single position)
Reference point Z – (only for single position)
