Function
The "Teach In" function allows you to transfer machining steps that
are being performed on the machine tool to the control system.
These machining steps can be manually controlled movements (e.g.
using the control stick) or programmed steps (e.g. cycles) or complete
EasyStep programs.
All steps are transferred to a program, which allows you to
automatically create programs that can be reproduced as often as
required.
If the machine is equipped with a turret, you can only use the "Teach
In" function, if the turret repositioning is also set with the function. This
must be set up be the machine manufacturer.

measured in advance and their tool nose radii and tool positions
entered.

suitable start position.
