DZ Maximum depth infeed – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ or ∇∇∇ edge) mm
Plane finishing allowance – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ or ∇∇∇ edge)
UZ Depth finishing allowance – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇) mm
Insertion
The following insertion modes can be selected – (only for plane-by-plane machining
method and for ∇, ∇∇∇ or ∇∇∇ edge):
•
(only for G code)
•
Vertical: Insert vertically at center of pocket
The tool executes the calculated depth infeed at the pocket center in a single
block. This setting can be used only if the cutter can cut across center or if the
pocket has been predrilled.
•
Helical: Insert along helical path
The cutter center point traverses along the helical path determined by the radius
and depth per revolution (helical path). If the depth for one infeed has been
reached, a full circle motion is executed to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
Feedrate: Machining feedrate
Note: The vertical insertion into pocket center method can be used only if the tool
can cut across center or if the workpiece has been predrilled.

Clamp/release spindle (only for end face C/peripheral surface C, if inserted vertically)
The function must be set up by the machine manufacturer
