9.2 Program structure
A machining step program is divided into three sub-areas:
● Program header
● Program blocks
● End of program
These sub-areas form a work plan.
Program header
The program header contains parameters that affect the entire program, such as blank
dimensions or retraction planes.
Program blocks
You determine the individual machining steps in the program blocks. In doing this, you specify
the technology data and positions, among other things.
