Organization of an NC program in HEIDENHAIN
Conversational format

A part program consists of a series of program blocks. The figure at
right illustrates the elements of a block.

The TNC numbers the blocks of a part program in ascending
sequence.

The first block of a program is identified by

BEGIN PGM, the

program name and the active unit of measure.

The subsequent blocks contain information on:

The workpiece blank

Tool calls

Approaching a safe position

Feed rates and spindle speeds, as well as

Movements, cycles and other functions

The last block of a program is identified by

END PGM the program

name and the active unit of measure.

After each tool call, HEIDENHAIN recommends
always traversing to a safe position from which the
TNC can position the tool for machining without
causing a collision!
