Parameter Description Unit
Preferred direction
(for ShopMill pro‐
gram)
Preferred direction of the swivel axis for several possible alignments of the machine
Machining
● ∇ (roughing)
● ∇∇∇ (finishing)
● ∇+∇∇∇ (complete machining)
Machining
direction
● face
● longitudinal
● parallel to the contour
● From inside to outside
● From outside to inside
● From end face to rear side
● From rear side to end face
The machining direction depends on the stock removal direction and choice of tool.
RP Retraction plane – (only for machining direction, longitudinal, inner) mm
Position
● front
● back
● inside
● outside
D Maximum depth infeed - (only for ∇) mm
DX Maximum depth infeed - (only for parallel to the contour, as an alternative to D) mm
DZ Maximum depth infeed - (only for position parallel to the contour and UX) mm
UX or U Finishing allowance in X or finishing allowance in X and Z – (only for ∇) mm
UZ Finishing allowance in Z – (only for UX) mm
DI For zero: Continuous cut - (only for ∇) mm
BL Blank description (only for ∇)
● Cylinder (described using XD, ZD)
● Allowance (XD and ZD on the finished part contour)
● Contour (additional CYCLE62 call with blank contour – e.g. cast iron mold)
