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 (X0) in the pocket area, then
Z0 (X0) + safety clearance can be programmed as the lift mode.
