(1) C-axis center drilling
APROCH X =
APROCH Z =
COOLANT =
SPDL GEAR =
APPROACH X
X coordinate of approaching intermediate point.
APPROACH Z
Z coordinate of approaching intermediate point.
COOLANT
COOLANT command at playback. Choose from the following
soft-key menu. Default value is [ON].
[ON] : (M8)
[OFF] : (M9)
SPDL GEAR
Select the milling gear. Directly input an M code (only when
required).
(2) C-axis drilling [DRILL]

COOLANT =
SPDL GEAR =
ST FEED
Cutting feedrate override at the start of cutting (parameter 9050 :
STFECF) The cutting feedrate is calculated as follows.
ST FEED = (Feedrate) × (STFECF) / 100
ST CLEAR
Clearance (distance between the tool tip and tool shoulder) at the
start of cutting. The tool cuts the workpiece by the above
feedrate from a point distanced from the cutting start point by an
amount equal to this clearance. This clearance is calculated as
follows.
Clearance = (HOLE DIA) / (2 X Tan (nose angle/2)
Nose angle = parameter 9083 : DRLANGL
APPROCH X
Similar to center drilling
APPROCH Z
