Window for feed rate calculation:
Code letter
Meaning
S:
Spindle speed (rpm)
Z:
Number of teeth on the tool
(n)
FZ:
Feed per tooth (mm/tooth)
FU:
Feed per revolution (mm/rev)
F=
Result for feed rate (mm/min)
You can also calculate the feed rate in the TOOL
CALL block and automatically transfer it to the
subsequent positioning blocks and cycles. For feed
rate input in positioning blocks or cycles, select
the soft key F AUTO. The TNC then uses the feed
rate defined in the TOOL CALL block. If you have to
change the feed rate later, you only need to adjust
the feed-rate value in the TOOL CALL block.
