9.4 Miscellaneous functions for

contouring behavior

Feed rate factor for plunging movements: M103

Standard behavior

The TNC moves the tool at the last programmed feed rate, regardless
of the direction of traverse.

Behavior with M103

The TNC reduces the feed rate when the tool moves in the negative
direction of the tool axis. The feed rate for plunging FZMAX is
calculated from the last programmed feed rate FPROG and a factor
F%:

FZMAX = FPROG x F%

Programming M103

If you enter M103 in a positioning block, the TNC continues the dialog
by asking you the factor F.

Effect

M103 becomes effective at the start of block.
To cancel M103, program M103 once again without a factor.

Example NC blocks

The feed rate for plunging is to be 20 % of the feed rate in the plane.
