Symbol Description
TZ Z-axis coordinate of a tailstock
L Length of a tailstock
D Diameter of a tailstock (diameter input)
L1 Length of a tailstock (1)
D1 Diameter of a tailstock (1) (diameter input)
L2 Length of a tailstock (2)
D2 Diameter of a tailstock (2) (diameter input)
D3 Diameter of the hole of a tailstock (diameter input)
TZ: Specifies the position (point B) of a tailstock with the Z-axis
coordinate of the workpiece coordinate system. In this case, do not
use the coordinate of the machine coordinate system. The profile of
a tailstock is assumed to be symmetrical with respect to the Z-axis.
NOTE
Specifying the position of a tailstock with a radius
or diameter depends on whether the Z-axis
conforms to radius or diameter specification.
L, L1, L2, D, D1, D2, and D3 Define the profile of a tailstock.
NOTE
Always specify D, D1, D2, and D3 with diameters.
Specify L, L1, and L2 with radiuses if the Z-axis
conforms to radius specification.
