Program steps and cycles | Thread cycles
Tool path description:
The tool orientation determines whether an inside or outside
thread is being cut
The tool initially moves to the start of the thread, offset by the
Clearance distance
Each pass begins away from the material by the specified
Lead-In distance. This distance allows the tool to accelerate and
synchronized with the spindle position.
The amount of material machined on each rough pass is
determined by the system and will not exceed the specified
Pass value. The depth of each cut is reduced as the current
depth increases.
The tool begins to pull out of the material before reaching the
end of the thread length as specified by the Runout distance
Once out of the material, the tool continues by the specified
Lead-Out distance as the Z axis decelerates
The tool rapids to the safety clearance distance before moving
to the start of the next pass
After completing all cutting passes, additional Air Cuts (optional)
are made as specified
The tool returns to the starting point
If the approach move interferes with the part or
fixturing, it may be necessary to program a Position
step to position the tool on the proper side of the part or
fixture prior to the thread step.
The program may not be paused when running a thread
step. If STOP is pressed, the tool will retract away from
the part and the program will stop.
