Parameter Description Unit
Machining
surface
(only for
ShopTurn)
• Face C
• Face Y
• Peripheral surface C
• Peripheral surface Y
Position
(only for
ShopTurn)
• At the front (face)
• At the rear (face)
• Outside (peripheral surface)
• Inside (peripheral surface)
(only for
ShopTurn)
Clamp/release spindle (only for end face Y/peripheral surface Y)
The function must be set up by the machine manufacturer.
Machining
• ∇ (roughing)
• ∇∇∇ (finishing)
• Chamfering
Machining
direction
Machining in the programmed contour direction
• Forward:
Machining is performed in the programmed contour direction
• Backward:
Machining is performed in the opposite direction to the programmed contour
Radius
compensation
• Left (machining to the left of the contour)
• Right (machining to the right of the contour)
• off
A programmed contour can also be machined on the center-point path. In this case,
approaching and retraction is only possible along a straight line or vertical. Vertical
approach/retraction can be used for closed contours, for example.
Slot side
compensation
(only ShopTurn)
Slot side compensation on or off (only for machining surface, peripheral surface C)
D Offset to programmed path
- (only for slot side compensation on)
CP Positioning angle for machining area
- (only for ShopTurn, machining surface, face Y)
