Abstract
The aim of a part program is to produce a component of the required quality using optimum cutting conditions. If you are to play a full part in this process, you must understand the programming format. The format used in this book is called the word address format. The programming data is conveyed by blocks of words, in which each word has an identifying letter address. This preceding letter defines the function of the word. A block of information that defines an operation may contain several words or just a single word. If a function is to be repeated in the next block the word need not be entered again; it remains active. It is said to be modal (that is, remembered).
