(only for ShopTurn)
● Face C
● Face Y
● Face B
● Peripheral surface C
● Peripheral surface Y
(only for ShopTurn)
Clamp/release spindle (only for end face Y/B and peripheral surface Y)
The function must be set up by the machine manufacturer.
Machining
The following machining operations can be selected:
● ∇ (roughing)
● ∇∇∇ base (base finishing)
● ∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)
● Chamfering
Z0
Reference point in the tool axis Z
mm
Z1
Pocket depth (abs) or depth referred to Z0 (inc)
mm
CP
(only for ShopTurn)
Positioning angle for machining area - (only for machining surface, face Y)
Angle CP does not have any effect on the machining position in relation to the workpiece.
It is only used to position the workpiece with the rotary axis C in such a way that ma‐
chining is possible on the machine.

DXY
● Maximum plane infeed
● Maximum plane infeed as a percentage of the milling cutter diameter

DZ
Maximum depth infeed

UXY
Finishing allowance, plane

UZ
Finishing allowance, depth

Insertion
The following insertion modes can be selected – (only for ∇, ∇∇∇ base or ∇∇∇ edge):
● Vertical
The calculated actual infeed depth is executed at the calculated position for
"automatic" starting point – or at the specified position for "manual" starting point.
Note:
This setting can be used only if the cutter can cut across center or if the pocket has
been predrilled.
● Helical
The cutter center point traverses along the helical path determined by the radius and
depth per revolution (helical path). If the depth for one infeed has been reached, a full
circle motion is executed to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
● Oscillation
The cutter center point oscillates back and forth along a linear path until it reaches the
depth infeed. When the depth has been reached, the path is traversed again without
depth infeed in order to eliminate the inclined insertion path.
