Parameter Description Unit
Reference point
Position of the reference point:
(lefthand edge)
(inside left)
(center)
(inside right)
(righthand edge)
Machining
∇ (roughing)
∇∇∇ (finishing)
∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)
Chamfering
Machining
position
Single position
A slot is milled at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).
Position pattern
Several slots are milled at the programmed position pattern (e.g. pitch circle, grid,
line).
X0
Y0
Z0
The positions refer to the reference point:
Reference point X – (for single position only)
Reference point Y – (for single position only)
Reference point Z
