Motion commands

4.1 General notes
Tool prepositioning
Before a machining process is started, you need to position the tool in such a way as to
avoid any damage to the tool or workpiece.
Start point - destination point
The traversing movement always runs from the last approached position to the programmed
destination position. This destination position is also the start position for the next travel
command.
Number of axis values
Depending on the control configuration, you can program motions for up to 8 axes in each
motion block. These may include path axes, synchronized axes, positioning axes, and
spindle oscillation mode.
Number of motion blocks in milling:
116
