  • Compensation Type: Left/Right.
  • Subroutine No (P): number of subprogram which describes shape of the pocket. The subprogram is named after Oxxxx and follows main program.
  • Offset/Start Hgt X/Y (X, Y): offset distance between the object and current position.
  • Offset/Start Hgt Z (Z value): Z-axis value of the upper edge of the object.
  • Clearance (C value): the safe starting height for machining.
  • U/V/W Depth (U value): the depth of the pocket. The value is negative.
  • Approach Radius (R value): the tangent entry/exit radius of fine cut.
  • Spindle Feed Rate (I value): feed rate of spindle. Please refer to INCON-M84/M86/M86R Integration Manual for more information.
  • Feed Rate (F value): the velocity at which the cutter is fed, the system will adopt the value set last time if users do not make any changes.
