Feed rate F, spindle speed S and miscellaneous function M

Besides the geometry for workpiece machining, you must also enter

the following information:

• Feed rate F in [mm/min]

• Miscellaneous function M

• Spindle speed S in [rpm]
The feed rate F, miscellaneous function M and spindle speed S are

programmed in separate blocks and become effective as soon as the

TNC has executed the blocks in which they are programmed.

These program blocks must be entered in the program before the

positioning blocks for which they are intended.

Entering the feed rate F

The feed rate F is “modally” effective. This means that the entered

feed rate remains in effect until a new feed rate is programmed.
Exception: Rapid traverse F MAX
Rapid traverse F MAX

You can also move the machine axes at rapid traverse (F MAX). The

feed rate for rapid traverse F MAX is preset in a machine parameter

by the machine manufacturer.

F MAX is not modally effective.

After the block with F MAX is executed, the feed rate returns to the

value that was programmed previously.
