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.
