Positions
3.7.9 Freely programmable positions
This pattern allows you to program positions freely, i.e. rectangular or
polar, in the X/Y, X/A, and XYA plane.
Individual positions are approached in the order in which you program
them. Press softkey "Delete all" to delete all positions programmed in
X/Y.
Rotary axis
• XA plane
You program in XA to prevent the Y axis moving during machining, if
required.
To ensure that the drill-holes point to the center of the "Cylinder", you
must first position the Y axis centrally above the "Cylinder".
