Geometry and machining data

When cycles are called, a distinction can be made between:

• geometry parameters
• machining parameters

Geometry and machining data assign input parameters for each cycle.

Geometry parameters include data to define the:

• reference plane
• retraction plane
• safety clearance
• absolute and relative machining depth required in the same way in all cycles.
• Further machining-specific coordinates

Machining parameters have a specific meaning and effect. They are described in detail in each of the cycles. They mainly include technological information such as dwell times, number of feeds, rotation directions etc., in fact all the data required in the machining process.
