Z0 Z coordinate of the reference point (abs) mm
X0 X coordinate of the reference point (abs) mm
Y0 Y coordinate of the reference point (abs) mm
α0 Starting angle: Angle of 1st hole with reference to C axis.
Positive angle: Full circle is rotated counterclockwise.
Negative angle: Full circle is rotated in clockwise direction.
Degrees
α1 Indexing angle: After the first hole has been drilled, all additional positions are
approached at this angle (only for pitch circle).
Positive angle: Additional positions are rotated in counterclockwise direction.
Negative angle: Additional positions are rotated in clockwise direction.
Degrees
N Number of positions on circle
15.7 Tool selection for the manual mode
For the preparatory actions in the manual mode, tool selection and spindle control are both
performed centrally in the T, S, M window.
