Function
All milling cycles, lathe and mill controls.
This parameter determines the speed at which the cutting tool will be
positioned above the point where the milling cycle is to be performed. The
cutting tool is always positioned to this point on a linear path.
YES -- Setting a value of “YES” for this parameter causes the control to
use the rapid positioning feedrate (G00) to position the cutting tool above
the point where the milling cycle is to be performed. This is independent
of the currently active positioning mode (G00, G01, G02, G03, etc.).
NO -- Setting a value of “NO” for this parameter allows the programmer to
select the rate at which the cutting tool cutting tool is to be positioned
above the point where the milling cycle is to be performed. If the control
is in G00 mode when the cycle is programmed, the tool is positioned by
using the rapid feedrate. If the control is in any mode other than G00 (for
example G01, G02, G03), the cutting tool is positioned on a linear path
(G01 mode) above the workpiece at the currently active programmed
feedrate.
