parameters Description Unit
TR Reference tool Tool, which is used in the "stock removal" machining step. This is used
to determine the residual corners.
D Cutting edge number
Z0 Reference point in tool axes Z mm
Z1
Pocket depth (abs) or depth referred to Z0 mm
CP Positioning angle for machining area
- (only for ShopTurn, machining surface, face Y)
Degrees
C0 Positioning angle for machining surface
- (only for ShopTurn, machining surface, peripheral surface Y)
Degrees
DXY
• Maximum plane infeed
• Maximum plane infeed as a percentage of the milling cutter diameter

DZ Maximum depth infeed
Lift mode
Lift mode before new infeed
If the machining operation requires several points of insertion, the retraction height can
be programmed:
• To retraction plane
• Z0 + safety clearance
When making the transition to the next insertion point, the tool returns to this height. If
there are no elements larger than Z0 in the pocket area, Z0 + safety clearance" can be
selected as the lift mode.
