Face Y

Peripheral surface C

(only for
Peripheral surface Y

ShopTurn)
Please note that when machining in the face C and peripheral surface C planes,
clamping only remains active for the drilling operation. On the other hand, when
machining in the face Y and peripheral surface Y planes, clamping is modal, i.e. it
remains active until the machining plane is changed.
Machining The following machining technologies can be selected:
∇ (roughing)

∇∇∇ (finishing)

∇∇∇ edge (edge finishing)

Chamfering

Single position
Machining 
position
Mill rectangular pocket at the programmed position (X0, Y0, Z0).
Position pattern

Position with MCALL
Default: The positions refer to the reference point:
X0 Reference point X – (only for single position)
Y0 Reference point Y – (only for single position)
Z0 Reference point Z – (only for single position)
(only for G code)
