2.3 Pattern Definition PATTERN DEF
Defining a single row
U Starting point in X (absolute): Coordinate of the
starting point of the row in the X axis
U Starting point in Y (absolute): Coordinate of the
starting point of the row in the Y axis
U Spacing of machining positions (incremental):
Distance between the machining positions. You can
enter a positive or negative value
U Number of positions: Total number of machining
positions
U Rot. position of entire pattern (absolute): Angle
of rotation around the entered starting point.
Reference axis: Major axis of the active machining
plane (e.g. X for tool axis Z). You can enter a positive
or negative value
U Workpiece surface coordinate (absolute): Enter Z
coordinate at which machining is to begin
If you have defined a workpiece surface in Z not equal to
0, then this value is effective in addition to the workpiece
surface Q203 that you defined in the machining cycle.
