Cycle parameters
U Starting point 1st axis Q225 (absolute): Coordinate
of the starting point in the reference axis of the
working plane.
U Starting point 2nd axis Q226 (absolute): Coordinate
of the starting point in the minor axis of the working
plane.
U Spacing in 1st axis Q237 (incremental): Spacing
between each point on a line.
U Spacing in 2nd axis Q238 (incremental): Spacing
between each line.
U Number of columns Q242: Number of machining
operations on a line.
U Number of lines Q243: Number of passes.
U
Rotational position Q224 (absolute): Angle by
which the entire pattern is rotated. The center of
rotation lies in the starting point.
U Setup clearance Q200 (incremental): Distance
between tool tip and workpiece surface, alternatively
PREDEF.
U Workpiece surface coordinate Q203 (absolute):
Coordinate of the workpiece surface.
U 2nd setup clearance Q204 (incremental): Coordinate
in the spindle axis at which no collision between tool
and workpiece (fixtures) can occur, alternatively
PREDEF.
U Moving to clearance height Q301: Definition of how
the tool is to move between machining processes.
0: Move to the setup clearance between operations.
1: Move to the 2nd setup clearance between
machining operations.
Alternatively PREDEF
