Data for
If several spindles have been set up, the program can operate at both spin-
dles.
Select the 2nd spindle
• Main spindle
• Counterspindle
• Empty
The program only operates at one spindle
Retraction The retraction area indicates the area outside of which collision-
of the axes must be possible.

XRA Retraction plane X external ∅ (abs) or
retraction plane X referred to XA (inc)
XRI - only for a pipe blank
retraction plane X internal ∅ (abs) or
retraction plane X referred to XI (inc)

rev/min
Retraction plane Z rear – only for retraction "all"
Tailstock
• Yes
• No
Retraction plane tailstock – only "Yes" for tailstock
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)
• 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 revolv-
er and not the tool tip.
SC The safety clearance defines how close the tool can approach the workpiece
in rapid traverse.
Enter the safety clearance without sign into the incremental dimension.
