Parameter Description
Preferred direction Preferred direction of the swivel axis for several possible alignments of the machine
(for ShopMill pro‐
gram)
Machining
● ∇ (roughing)
● ∇∇∇ (finishing)
● ∇+∇∇∇ (complete machining)
Machining
● face
direction
● longitudinal
● parallel to the contour
The machining direction depends on the stock removal direction and choice of tool.
RP Retraction plane – (only for machining direction, longitudinal, inner)
Position
● front
● back
● inside
● outside
D Maximum depth infeed - (only for ∇)
DX Maximum depth infeed - (only for parallel to the contour, as an alternative to D)
DZ Maximum depth infeed - (only for position parallel to the contour and UX)
UX or U Finishing allowance in X or finishing allowance in X and Z – (only for ∇)
UZ Finishing allowance in Z – (only for UX)
DI For zero: Continuous cut - (only for ∇)
BL Blank description (only for ∇)
● Cylinder (described using XD, ZD)
● Allowance (XD and ZD on the finished part contour)
● Contour (additional CYCLE62 call with blank contour – e.g. cast iron mold)
