The following is what needs to be actually input by the operator for each taper cutting
job. For complete parameter definitions see prior info.
MANUAL Z AXIS MACHINES
0 Input Table To Upper (Z vernier + T-Limit)
2) Input Table To Program (Distance to where you are holding size from the worktable)
3) Table To Next (set to zero if T-Program is > 0)
All other settings are machine constants and should already be set.
POWER Z AXIS MACHINES
0 Input Table To Program (Distance to where you are holding size from the worktable)
2) Input Table To Next (set to zero if T-Program is > 0)
All other settings are machine constants and should already be set.

MANUAL Z AXIS MACHINES
0 Input Table To Upper (Z vernier + T-Limit)
2) Input Table To Program (Distance from worktable to bottom of part – X Y Axis Plane)
3) Input Table To Next (Distance from worktable to top of part)
All other settings are machine constants and should already be set.
POWER Z AXIS MACHINES
0 Input Table To Program (Distance from worktable to bottom of part – X Y Axis
Plane)
2) Table To Next (Distance from worktable to top of part)
All other settings are machine constants and should already be set.
Note: Now Table To Next is actually being used in 4-axis cutting. Its value should
represent the workpiece thickness + fixturing thickness if one is being used.
