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 the left
semicircle
V CENTER POINT (Y) Y coordinate of the center position of the left
semicircle
U BETWEEN DISTANCE Distance between the centers of the right and left
semicircles (radius value, positive value)
R RADIUS Radius of the left and right semicircles (radius value,
positive value)
A* ANGLE Inclination angle of a track figure relative to the
X-axis (positive or negative value)
