5.1 Overview of cycles

Cycles are generally applicable technology subroutines that can be used to carry out a specific machining process, such as tapping. These cycles are adapted to individual tasks by parameter assignment. In the system, according to the specific process requirements can be divided into:

1. Drilling cycles

2. Turning cycles

Note

CYCLE81-CYCLE89 must work in G17 plane.

Technical definition must repeate after exiting the cycle (G91 / G90, G71 / G70, DIAMOF / DIAMON, etc.).

Throughout the cycle running, cycle call is displayed in the current block. Standard cycles according to user-defined variables for processing, different variables define different machining path. Cycle calls must always requires a separate block. Standard cycle parameters for each cycle having an order and type of request. Standard cycle parameters defined variable or constant, if it is variable, these variables must first be defined in the calling program, and has been assigned.
