Turning functions

For a further description of turning functions, refer to the programming instructions [PROG].

Cutter radius compensation

Cutter radius compensation is active in the machining plane selected with G17, G18, G19. In this plane, one of the axes must be operated in the "facing" mode, and the other in the "longitudinal turning" mode (P-AXIS-00015 (achs_mode)).

Programming

G40/G41/G42

Feed rate per revolution

During turning with feed rate per revolution, a constant depth of cut can be defined via the F word in mm/rev independently of the spindle speed. The feed rate of the contouring axes is coupled to the speed of the NC spindle.

Programming

G95

Constant cutting speed

To achieve a constant relative speed between the workpiece and the turning tool for all machining diameters during turning, the spindle speed is coupled to the distance of the feed axis from the turning center.

G96, G97, G196
