Parameter Description Unit
The retraction area indicates the area outside of which collision-free traversing of
the axes must be possible.
Retraction
• simple
• Extended
• all
XRA
Retraction plane X external ∅ (abs) or
retraction plane X referred to XA (inc)
XRI
- not for "basic" retraction
retraction plane X internal ∅ (abs) or
retraction plane X referred to XI (inc) - not for "pipe" blank
mm
ZRA
Retraction plane Z front (abs) or
retraction plane Z referred to ZA (inc)
mm
ZRI
Retraction plane Z rear – only for retraction "all" mm
Tailstock
• Yes
• No
XRR Retraction plane tailstock – only "Yes" for tailstock
For "Main+counterspindle", the tailstock only refers to the main spindle (tailstock
on the counterspindle side)
mm
Tool change point
Tool change point, which must be approached by the revolver with its zero point.
• WCS (Workpiece Coordinate System)
• MCS (Machine Coordinate System)
Notes
• The tool change point must be far enough outside the retraction area that it is
not possible for any tool to protrude into the retraction area while the revolver is
moving.
• Ensure that the tool change point is relative to the zero point of the revolver
and not the tool tip.
XT Tool change point X ∅ mm
ZT Tool change point Z mm
Data for
• Main spindle
• Counterspindle
If several spindles have been set-up, the program can operate at both spindles
• Empty
The program only operates at one spindle
Retraction The retraction area indicates the area outside of which collision-free traversing of
the axes must be possible.
• simple
• extended – (not for a pipe blank)
• all
XRA Retraction plane X external ∅ (abs) or
retraction plane X referred to XA (inc)
