Parameter Description Unit
TR Reference tool Tool, which is used in the "solid machining" machining step. This is
used to determine the plunge position.
Z0 Reference point Z mm
Z1 Depth with reference to Z0 (inc.) mm

UXY Finishing allowance, plane mm
UZ Depth finishing allowance - (only for predrilling) mm
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.
