To mill pockets, spigots or slots at one position only, enter the position
in the technology block. If you want to mill these shapes at more than
one position, however, you must program the positions or position
pattern in a separate block after the technology block.
The technology block and the positioning block are shown in the
process plan in square brackets.
Example: Milling
When milling, it can be useful, for example, during vertical insertion
into the material, to clamp the spindle to avoid spindle distortions. The
"Clamp spindles" function must be set up by the machine
manufacturer.
The machine manufacturer also specifies whether ShopTurn will
clamp the spindle automatically if this would facilitate machining, or if
you can decide the types of machining for which the spindle should be
clamped.
Please also refer to the machine manufacturer's instructions.
