Defining basic AFC settings
table, which must be saved in the TNC:\table
In the AFC.TAB
directory, you enter the control settings with which the control
performs the feed rate control.
The data in this table are default values that were copied into a file
belonging to the respective machining program during a teach-in
cut. The values act as the basis for regulation.
If you define a tool-specific reference power using
the AFC-LOAD column in the tool table, the control
generates the associated file for the relevant machining
program without a teach-in cut. The file is created
shortly before the control becomes effective.
Enter the following data in the table:

functions)

in the AFC column of the tool table. It specifies the
