● In MODULUS: For example, generally used for worm gears that mesh with a gear
wheel.
● Per inch: Used with pipe threads, for example.
When entered per inch, enter the integer number in front of the decimal point in the
first parameter field and the figures after the decimal point as a fraction in the second
and third field.
● In mm/rev
● In inch/rev
The tool used depends on the thread pitch.

10.4.12 Engraving (CYCLE60)
Function
The "Engraving" function is used to engrave a text on a workpiece along a line or arc.
You can enter the text directly in the text field as "fixed text" or assign it via a variable as
"variable text".
Engraving uses a proportional font, i.e., the individual characters are of different widths.
Approach/retraction
1. The tool approaches the starting point at rapid traverse at the height of the retraction plane
and adjusts to the safety clearance.
2. The tool moves to the machining depth FZ at the infeed feedrate Z1 and mills the characters.
3. The tool retracts to the safety clearance at rapid traverse and moves along a straight line to
the next character.
4. Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until the entire text has been milled.
5. The tool moves to the retraction plane in rapid traverse.
