Square: G1220 (XY plane)
POS./SIZE
Data item Meaning
T FIGURE TYPE [FACE] : Used as a figure for facing
[CONVEX] : Used as an outer figure for contouring
[CONCAVE] : Used as an inner figure for contouring or
as a figure for pocketing
[GROOVE] : Used as a figure for grooving
Remark) When pocketing is selected as machining type,
be sure to select [CONCAVE].
B BASE POSITION Z coordinate of the top surface of a workpiece subject to
pocketing or the bottom of a pocket (in the tool axis
direction)
L HEIGHT/DEPTH When the top surface of a workpiece is selected as the
BASE POSITION, specify the distance to the bottom of a
pocket by using a negative value (radius value).
→ Depth
When the bottom of a pocket is selected as the BASE
POSITION, specify the distance to the top surface of the
pocket by using a positive value (radius value).
→ Height
H CENTER POINT (X) X coordinate of the center position of a rectangular figure
V CENTER POINT (Y) Y coordinate of the center position of a rectangular figure
U LENGTH FOR X
AXIS
Length of the side in the X-axis direction (radius value,
positive value)
W LENGTH FOR Y
AXIS
Length of the side in the Y-axis direction (radius value,
positive value)
R* CORNER RADIUS Radius for corner rounding (positive value)
A* ANGLE Inclination angle of a rectangular figure relative to the
X-axis (positive or negative value)
