Type of feedrate
If time feed is selected, the axes are moved at the speed entered in this field (mm/min)
(unless rapid traverse override is activated). It can be influenced by the feedrate override
switch setting.
The time feed is only possible for a constant spindle speed.
In "Spindle speed + revolutional feedrate" or "Const. cutting speed + revolutional
feedrate" mode, the value entered in this field determines the axis speed (unless rapid
traverse override is activated). It is influenced directly by the feedrate override weighting
setting and indirectly by the spindle override weighting setting.
