undamentals of path functions

Creating the program blocks with the path function keys
The gray path function keys initiate the plain-language dialog. The TNC

asks you successively for all the necessary information and inserts the

program block into the part program.
Example—programming a straight line:

Initiate the programming dialog, e.g. for a straight line

Enter the coordinates of the straight-line end point,
e.g. –20 in X

Enter the coordinates of the straight-line end point,
e.g. 30 in Y, and confirm with the ENT key.

Select the radius compensation (here, press the R0
soft key—the tool moves without compensation)

Enter the feed rate (here, 100 mm/min), and confirm
your entry with ENT. When programming in inches,
an entry of 100 equals a feed rate of 10 inches per
minute

Move at rapid traverse: Press the F MAX soft key, or

Traverse with the feed rate defined in the TOOL CALL
block: Press the F AUTO soft key

Enter a miscellaneous function (here, M3), and
terminate the dialog with ENT

The part program now contains the following line:
