Parameter
Description
Unit
Machining posi‐
tion
● Single position
A polygon is milled at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).
● Position pattern
Several polygons are milled at the programmed position pattern (e.g. pitch circle,
grid, line).
X0
Y0
Z0
The positions refer to the reference point:
Reference point X – (for single position only)
Reference point Y – (for single position only)
Reference point Z – (single position only and G Code position pattern)
