Programming a straight line

When you want to program a straight line in right-angled coordinates, you can use the "Straight"
function.
The tool moves along a straight line at the programmed feedrate or at rapid traverse from its
actual position to the programmed end position.

6. In the lefthand input field of the Spindle parameter, select main spindle,
tool spindle or counterspindle.
7. Enter the spindle speed or cutting rate.
8. In the selection box "Plane selection", select between the machining
planes.
9. Enter the cylinder diameter if you selected the machining plane peripheral
surface C.
- OR -
Enter the positioning angle for the CP machining area if you selected
machining plane face Y.
- OR -
Enter reference point C0 if you selected the machining plane peripheral
surface Y.
- OR -
Choose whether the spindle should be clamped or released or whether
there should be no change (input field left blank).

Select between the following machining surfaces:
● Peripheral surface/Peripheral C
● Peripheral surface Y - only if there is a Y axis
● Face/Face C
● Face Y - only if there is a Y axis
● Turning
Diameter of the cylinder (for peripheral surface/peripheral C)
Positioning angle for machining area (for peripheral surface Y)
Positioning angle for machining area (for face Y)
Angle CP does not have any effect on the machining position in relation to the work‐
piece. It is only used to position the workpiece with the rotary axis C in such a way
that machining is possible on the machine.
