Define A Workpiece Blank - HEIDENHAIN ITNC 530 - CONVERSATIONAL PROGRAMMING User Manual

Define a workpiece blank

Immediately after you have created a new program, the TNC starts the
dialog for entering the workpiece blank definition. Always define the
workpiece blank as a cuboid by entering the MIN and MAX points,
each with reference to the selected reference point.
After you have created a new program, the TNC automatically initiates
the workpiece blank definition and asks for the required data:

setting. Accept with the ENT key
