Engraving, face unit

The unit engraves character strings in linear or polar layout on
the face of the workpiece. Diacritics and special characters that
you cannot enter in smart.Turn operating mode can be defined,
character by character, in NF. If you program Q = 1 (Continue from
last text), tool change and pre-positioning are suppressed. The
technological data of the previous engraving cycle apply.
