L
—displays the most recently milled serial number.
—the change in the Z axis dimension for each 360° of revolution of the helix in a helix segment of Mill Contour. This value provides information for the calculation of the X End, Y End, Z End, and Sweep Angle fields.
—the Lead Angle for this Mill Contour. See Lead In/Out Moves. This field only appears for NC posted programs. This field is only available when Milling Type is set to Left or Right. Lead In/Out Moves will be ignored in the post unless Enable Blend Moves is set to Yes and the Display Apt Fields in Editor field on the Post Processor Configuration screen is set to Yes.
— the character that is added to the beginning of the serial number as a placeholder to achieve the minimum length. This can be an alpha or a numeric character. This character will be repeated in the serial number as many times as necessary to achieve the specified minimum length with the given starting sequence. See example below. This field only appears when Assure Minimum Length is Yes.
—the Lead Length for this Mill Contour. See Lead In/Out Moves. This field only appears for NC posted programs. This field is only available when Milling Type is set to Left or Right. Lead In/Out Moves will be ignored in the post unless Enable Blend Moves is set to Yes and the Display Apt Fields in Editor field on the Post Processor Configuration screen is set to Yes.
—the dwell units when using an integer to specify dwell. This field can be set to 0.001 or 0.0001.
—the units of the scaling factor when an integer is used with the scaling command. This field can be set to 0.001 or 0.0001.
—the length along axis from reference position when Stock Type is Cylinder, in Stock Geometry.
—the length of the portion of the tool used for cutting.
—used to change the X table position when probing – applies only when probing tool length. Required for tools that have a cutter offset from the center.
—used to change the Y table position when probing – applies only when probing tool length. Required for tools that have a cutter offset from the center.
—the amount of deviation from the tool length programmed in the Tool Cal Length/Zero Calibration field in Tool Setup. Used when checking for a defective tool with automatic monitoring for Tool Length Wear.
—the X length of the pocket. This field appears upon completion of the probing cycle.
—the Y length of the pocket. This field appears upon completion of the probing cycle.
—the comment text in a Comment block. Enter up to 10 lines of information to display. Each line holds up to 50 characters.
—allowable (maximum) deviation from tool path for arcs/circles. This setting is used with the 3D DXF/Solid Model Import option.
—use this setting to force the active linearization mode on or off.
—enable this parameter to allow Automatic Safe Repositioning (ASR) to use a linearized move to the next tool vector if it can retract the tool tip above the next position start plane. If the tool tip cannot move above the next position start plane, a full ASR move is performed. This parameter is only available for universal rotary conversational programs.
—specify Small or Large for the size of icons in lists.
—the physical location of the tool:
-
Spindle—tool is in spindle
-
Manual—tool is defined
-
Auto—tool is in ATC magazine
-
Pock—displays the tool pocket location of the tool
