Parameters
Parameter
Data type
Description
_RTP
REAL
Retraction plane (absolute)
_RFP
REAL
Reference plane (absolute)
_SDIS
REAL
Safety clearance (enter without sign)
_DP
REAL
Pocket depth (absolute)
_LENG
REAL
Pocket length, for dimensioning from the corner with sign
_WID
REAL
Pocket width, for dimensioning from the corner with sign
_CRAD
REAL
Pocket corner radius (enter without sign)
_PA
REAL
Reference point for the pocket (absolute), first axis of the plane
_PO
REAL
Reference point for the pocket (absolute), second axis of the plane
_STA
REAL
Angle between the pocket longitudinal axis and the first axis of the plane (enter
without sign);
Range of values: 0
° ≤ STA < 180°
_MID
REAL
Maximum infeed depth (enter without sign)
_FAL
REAL
Finishing allowance at the pocket edge (enter without sign)
_FALD
REAL
Finishing allowance at the base (enter without sign)
_FFP1
REAL
Feedrate for surface machining
_FFD
REAL
Feedrate for depth infeed
_CDIR
INT
Milling direction: (enter without sign)
Values:
0: Down-cut milling (in the spindle direction)
1: Conventional milling
2: With G2 (independent of spindle direction)
3: With G3
_VARI
INT
Machining type
UNITS DIGIT
Values:
1: roughing, 2: finishing
TENS DIGIT:
Values:
0: Perpendicular to the pocket center with G0
1: Perpendicular to the pocket center with G1
2: Along a helix
3: Oscillation along the pocket longitudinal axis
The other parameters can be selected as options. They define the insertion strategy and the overlap for solid machining (to
be entered without sign):
_MIDA
REAL
Maximum infeed width as a value in solid machining in the plane
_AP1
REAL
Blank dimension of pocket length
