Turning functions

For a further description of turning functions, refer to the programming manual [PROG]

Cutter radius compensation

Tool tip radius compensation acts in the machining plane selected using G17, G18, G19. In this plane, one of the axes must be operated in "facing" mode and the other in "longitudinal turning" mode (P-AXIS-00015 (achs_mode)).

Programming

G40/G41/G42

Feedrate per revolution

During turning with active G95, a constant chip thickness can be defined with the F Word in mm/rev irrespective of spindle speed (rpm). Here, the axis feedrate is linked to the rotational speed (rpm) of the NC spindle.

Programming

G95

Constant cutting speed

To achieve a constant relative speed between the workpiece and the turning tool for all machining diameters during turning, the spindle speed is coupled to the distance of the feed axis from the turning centre.

Programming

G96, G97, G196
