Data type Meaning
17 <_VARI> INT Machining type
UNITS: Reserved
TENS: Machining process
1 = Roughing
2 = Finishing
3 = Roughing and finishing
HUNDREDS: Position longitudinal/transverse external/
internal +Z/+Z and +X/-X
1 = Longitudinal/external +Z
2 = Transverse/internal -X
3 = Longitudinal/internal +Z
4 = Transverse/internal +X
5 = Longitudinal/external -Z
6 = Transverse/external -X
7 = Longitudinal/internal -Z
8 = Transverse/external +X
THOUSANDS: Position of reference point
0 = Upper reference point
1 = Lower reference point
TEN THOUSANDS: Define effect of finishing allowances
0 = Finishing allowance U parallel to
the contour
1 = Separate UX and UZ finishing al‐
lowances
18 <_DN> INT D number for 2nd edge of tool
> 0 = D number for tool offset of 2nd
edge of grooving tool
0 = No 2nd edge programmed
19 N <_NUM> INT Number of grooves (0 = 1 groove)
20 DP <_DBH> REAL Distance between grooves (only needed when <_NUM> > 1)
21 F <_FF1> REAL Feedrate
22 <_NR> INT Identification for form of groove corresponds to vertical softkey for form
selection
0 = 90° sides without chamfers/
rounding
1 = Inclined sides with chamfers/
rounding (without α0)
2 = As 1, but on taper (with α0)
23 UX <_FALX> REAL Finishing allowance in X axis, see <_VARI> (TEN THOUSANDS) (to be
entered without sign)
24 UZ <_FALZ> REAL Finishing allowance in Z axis, see <_VARI> (TEN THOUSANDS) (to be
entered without sign)
