Dimensions

The basis of most NC programs is a workpiece drawing with specific dimensions.
These dimensions can be:
● In absolute dimensions or in incremental dimensions
● In millimeters or inches
● In radius or diameter (for turning)
Specific programming commands are available for the various dimension options so that the
data from a dimension drawing can be transferred directly (without conversion) to the NC
program.

Absolute dimensions (G90, AC)

Function
With absolute dimensions, the position specifications always refer to the zero point of the
currently valid coordinate system, i.e. the absolute position is programmed, on which the tool
is to traverse.
Modal absolute dimensions
Modal absolute dimensions are activated with the
axes programmed in subsequent NC blocks.
Non-modal absolute dimensions
With preset incremental dimensions (
absolute dimensions for individual axes.
Note
Non-modal absolute dimensions (
