Application Area:

The parameters of this group detail the final point for the approach/return movements and specify the technique for auxiliary movements when transitioning between holes.

First Link Type:

Defines the method for bringing the tool to the first processing hole.

Last Link Type:

Specifies how the tool is retracted from the last processed hole.

Long Link Type:

Defines the method for transitioning the tool between consecutive processing holes when the transition length exceeds the value set in the Short Link Max Distance parameter.

Short Link Type:

Defines the method for transitioning the tool between consecutive processing holes when the transition length is smaller than the value set in the Short Link Max Distance parameter. This option uses the same parameters as the Long Link Type.
