Function
Typically, general workpiece data are valid for each workpiece seat. Hence the cycle must
be called at the beginning of a machining program and after each diameter or change to the
tool peripheral speed.
For dressing prior to the nth workpiece, workpiece counting is performed in the GC_WPC
parameter for each wheel. Dressing takes place whenever the counter can be divided by the
parameter N_AWST without a remainder.
This cycle processes the fine correction parameters for the X and Z axes.
