Description
Unit
Retraction
The retraction area indicates the area outside of which collision-free traversing
of the axes must be possible.
● simple
● Extended
● all
XRA
Retraction plane X external ∅ (abs) or
retraction plane X referred to XA (inc)
XRI
- not for "basic" retraction
retraction plane X internal ∅ (abs) or
retraction plane X referred to XI (inc) - not for "pipe" blank
mm
ZRA
Retraction plane Z front (abs) or
retraction plane Z referred to ZA (inc)
mm
ZRI
Retraction plane Z rear – only for retraction "all"
mm
Tailstock
● Yes
● No
XRR
Retraction plane tailstock – only "Yes" for tailstock
For "Main+counterspindle", the tailstock only refers to the main spindle (tailstock
on the counterspindle side)
mm
Tool change point
Tool change point, which must be approached by the revolver with its zero point.
● WCS (Workpiece Coordinate System)
● MCS (Machine Coordinate System)
Notes
● The tool change point must be far enough outside the retraction area that it
is not possible for any tool to protrude into the retraction area while the
revolver is moving.
● Ensure that the tool change point is relative to the zero point of the revolver
and not the tool tip.

Data for
If several spindles have been set up, the program can operate at both spindles.
Select the 2nd spindle
● Main spindle
● Counterspindle
● Empty
The program only operates at one spindle
