1 BLK FORM 0.1 Z X+0 Y+0 Z-20

2 BLK FORM 0.2 X+100 Y+100 Z+0

; Define the workpiece blank for workpiece simulation

3 TOOL CALL 1 Z S4000

; Call the tool in the tool axis and with the spindle speed

4 L Z+250 R0 FMAX

; Retract the tool in the tool axis at rapid traverse FMAX

5 L X-10 Y-10 R0 FMAX

; Pre-position the tool

6 L Z-5 R0 F1000 M3

; Move to working depth at feed rate F = 1000 mm/min

7 APPR LCT X+5 Y+5 R5 RL F300

; Approach the contour at point 1 on a circular path with tangential connection

8 L X+5 Y+85

; Program the first straight line for corner 2

9 RND R10 F150

; Program a rounding with R = 10 mm, feed rate F = 150 mm/min

10 L X+30 Y+85

; Move to point 3: starting point of the circular path CR

11 CR X+70 Y+95 R+30 DR-

; Move to point 4: end point of the circular path CR, with radius R = 30 mm

12 L X+95

; Move to point 5

13 L X+95 Y+40

; Move to point 6: starting point of the circular path CT

14 CT X+40 Y+5

; Move to point 7: end point of the circular path CT, arc with tangential connection to point 6; the control calculates the radius automatically

15 L X+5

; Move to last contour point 1

16 DEP LCT X-20 Y-20 R5 F1000

; Depart contour on a circular path with tangential connection

17 L Z+250 R0 FMAX M2

; Retract the tool, end program
