    Happy new year first of all

    I got a VF2 for Christmas =) and now I am trying to program it.
    It works quite well so far. Now I try to run a contour several times and change the depth each time.
    So I want to enter the Z infeed as a variable and then always change it and repeat the subprogram.

    But how does it work? I can’t find anything in the help!

    Hello
    I am not quite sure if I understood you but I can tell you how we program a HAAS...

    e.g. contour 15 mm depth 3 times – each time 5mm infeed...

    M97 P1 L3 (subprogram call P1-N1 L3- 3 repetitions)

    N1; (subprogram 1)
    G91 G1 Z-5. F25OO. (infeed 5mm Incremental)
    G9O G41 X....Y.....(contour data)
    ....
    .....
    ......
    M99 (sub program end)

    Hope I was able to help you out...
