DIN Programming
NC blocks start with the letter “N” followed by a block
number (with up to four digits).
Comments are enclosed in parentheses „[...]“. They are
located either at the end of an NC block or in a separate NC
block.
Instructions for operation
During editing, the CNC PILOT shows programmed contours
in a maximum of two simulation windows. You can select
the windows from the DIN PLUS main menu (Menu item
”Graphics—Windows”).
■ The starting point of the contour will be marked with a
”small box”
DIN Programming
■ If the cursor is located on a block from ”blank or finished
part”, the corresponding contour element will be indicated in
red in the simulation window (”Contour display”)
• Additions/changes to the contour will only be
considered if the ”Graphics” menu item is
reactivated.
• Unambiguous NC block numbers are a prerequisite
for the contour display!
• For programming variables, see ”CNC PILOT 4290

PROGRAMMKOPF [ PROGRAM HEAD ]
The PROGRAM HEAD comprises:
■ Organizational information (does not influence
program execution)
■ Setup information (does not influence program
execution)
■ SLIDE: NC program is only executed for the indicated slide – No in-
put: NC program is executed for every slide (input: “$1, $2, ...”)
■ UNIT: unit of measurement ”metric/inches”—No input: the unit set
in control parameter 1 is used
The ”Unit” can be programmed only when a new program is
being created (set under PROGRAM HEAD). It is not possible
to post-edit this entry.
TURRET x
contains the assignment for the tool carrier x (x: 1..6). If the tool is described in the data bank, enter the T number and the ID number. Alternately, you can define the tool parameters in the NC program.
Tool data input:
Call the tool input: INS key
T-number: position in the tool carrier
ID (identification number): reference to the tool database– No in-
put: tool data is not included in the tool database.
Simple tool:
■ Only suitable for simple traverse paths and turning cycles (G0...G3,
G12, G13; G81...G88).
■ There is no regeneration of the contour.
■ Cutter radius compensation is carried out.
■ Data are not stored in the tool database (”Simple tools” have no ID).

G52 Equidistant finishing allowances – blockwise
G95 defines finishing feed rate for total contour
G149 additive compensation values for total contour
Accurate stop ON G7-Geo
G7 switches the ”precision stop” on modally. In a ”precision stop,” the
CNC PILOT does not start the next block until the ”tolerance window”
around the end point is reached (for tolerance window, see machine
parameters 1106, 1156, ...).
• The NC block containing G7 is also executed with a precision
stop.
•”Precision stop” is used for basic contour elements that are
executed with G890 or G840.
Precision stop OFF G8-Geo
G8 switches the precision stop off. The block containing G8 is executed
without a precision stop.
Blockwise accurate stop G9-Geo
G9 activates a precision stop for the NC block in
which it is programmed (see also ”G7 Geo”).
Peak-to-valley height (surface texture)

thus determines the surface roughness of the
workpiece.
Basics of programming
■ The peak-to-valley height activated with G10 is mo-
dal.
■ G10 without parameters deactivates peak-to-valley
height.
■ G95 Geo deactivates peak-to-valley height.
■ G10 RH... (without ”H”) overwrites the valid peak-
to-valley roughness block by block.
■ G38 Geo overwrites the valid peak-to-valley
roughness block by block.
Parameters
H: Type of surface texture (see also DIN 4768)

■ H=0: P replaces G57/G58 allowances
■ H=1: P is added to G57/G58 allowances
Feed rate per revolution G95-Geo
G95 influences the finishing feed rate of G890.
Basics of programming
■ G95 is a modal function
■ G10 switches the G95 finishing feed rate off.
Parameters
F: Feed per revolution
• Use peak-to-valley height and finishing feed rate alternatively.
• The G95 finishing feed rate replaces a finishing feed rate
defined in the machining program.
Additive compensation G149-Geo
The CNC PILOT manages 16 tool-independent
correction values.
To activate the additive correction function, program
G149 followed by a „D number“ (for example, G149
D901). ”G149 D900” resets the additive
compensation function.
Basics of programming
■ Additive compensation is effective from the block
in which G149 is programmed.
■ An additive compensation remains active until:
• the next ”G149 D900”
• the end of the finished part description
Parameters
D: Additive compensation - Default: D900
Range: 900 to 916

Start of pocket/island G308-Geo
G308 defines a new reference level/reference diameter for
hierarchically nested front face or lateral surface contours.
Parameters
P: Depth for pocket, height for islands
The algebraic sign of ”Depth P” defines the position of the milling
contour:
■ P<0: Pocket
■ P>0: Island
Section P Surface Milling floor
FRONT END P<0 Z Z+P
FRONT END P>0 Z+P Z
REAR END P<0 Z Z–P
Overlapped contours
REAR END P>0 Z–PZ
CYLINDER SURFACE P<0 X X+(P*2)
CYLINDER SURFACE P>0 X+(P*2) X
The milling cycles machine from the ”surface” toward the ”milling
floor.”
X: Reference diameter from the section code
Z: Reference plane from the section code
P: ”Depth” from G308 or from the cycle parameters
• Note with ”P”: the addition of a negative
number reduces the result, and the
subtraction of a negative number increases
the result.
• Island: The area-milling cycles machine
the complete area specified in the contour
definition. Islands that are defined within
this area are not considered.

End pocket/island G309-Geo
G309 ends a reference level. Every reference plane defined with G308
must be ended with G309!
Starting point of end face contour G100-Geo
G100 defines the starting point of an end face contour.
Parameters
X, C: Starting point in polar coordinates (diameter, starting angle)
XK,YK: Starting point in Cartesian coordinates
Linear segment in end face contour G101-Geo
G101 defines a line segment in an end face contour.
Parameters
X, C: End point in polar coordinates (diameter, end angle)
XK,YK: End point in Cartesian coordinates
A: Angle to positive XK-axis
B: Chamfer/rounding
■ B is undefined: Tangential transition
■ B=0: Nontangential transition
■ B>0: Rounding radius
■ B<0: Chamfer width
Q: Select point of intersection – default: 0
■ Q=0: Near intersection
■ Q=1: Far intersection

Circular arc in front end contour G102-/G103-Geo
G102/G103 defines a circular arc in a front/end face contour. The
direction of rotation is visible in the help graphic.
Parameters
X, C: End point in polar coordinates (diameter, end angle)
XK,YK: End point in Cartesian coordinates
R: Radius
I, J: Center in Cartesian coordinates
Q: Selection of intersection – default: 0
■ Q=0: Far intersection
■ Q=1: Near intersection
B: Chamfer/ rounding at end of circular arc
■ B no entry: tangential transition
■ B=0: no tangential transition
Base elements for
front/end face contour
■ B>0: Radius of rounding
■ B<0: Width of chamfer
The end point may not be the same as the starting point (not a
full circle).

XK,YK: Center of hole
B: Hole diameter
P: Depth of hole (excluding point)
W: Point angle – default: 180°
R: Countersinking diameter
U: Countersinking depth
E: Countersinking angle
I: Thread diameter
J: Thread depth
K: Thread runout length
F: Thread pitch
V: Left-hand or right-hand thread - default: 0
■ V=0: Right-hand thread
■ V=1: Left-hand thread
A: Angle (reference: Z-axis)
