The cutting data consist of spindle speed S or alternatively constant cutting speed VC and feed rate F.

The cutting data consist of spindle speed S or alternatively constant cutting speed VC and feed rate F.
The spindle speed S is defined as spindle revolutions per minute (rpm).
Alternatively, the constant cutting speed VC in meters per minute (m/min) can be defined.
The spindle speed or the cutting speed is active until a new spindle speed or cutting speed is defined in a TOOL CALL NC block.
The speed potentiometer allows varying the spindle speed between 0% and 150% while the program is running. The speed potentiometer setting is active only for machines with infinitely variable spindle drive. The maximum spindle speed depends on the machine.
The feed rate for linear axes is defined in millimeters per minute (mm/min).
The feed rate for rotary axes is defined in degrees per minute (°/min).
The feed rate can be defined with an accuracy of three decimal places.
FZ defines the path in millimeters that the tool covers per tooth.
When using FZ, the number of teeth must be defined in the CUT column of the tool management.
FU defines the path in millimeters that the tool covers per spindle revolution.
The feed rate per revolution is used mainly for turning (option 50).
The feed rate defined in a TOOL CALL can be called up within the NC program, using F AUTO.
The feed rate defined in the NC program is active up to the NC block in which a new feed rate is programmed.
If you define F MAX, the control moves at rapid traverse. F MAX is non-modal, i.e., it is active only in the block where it is called. Starting with the subsequent NC block, the last previously defined feed rate is active again. The maximum feed rate depends on the machine and may depend on the axis.
If you defined a feed rate in a TOOL CALL block, this feed rate can be used in the next positioning blocks, using F AUTO.
The feed-rate potentiometer allows varying the feed rate between 0% and 150% while the program is running. The setting of the feed-rate potentiometer is active only for the programmed feed rate. As long as the programmed feed rate has not yet been reached, the feed-rate potentiometer has no effect.
In the Manual operation application, the control displays the feed rate with decimal places on the POS tab. The control displays the feed rate with a total of six decimal places.
