– Compound
Canned Cycles
On a machine configured as an Articulated Head machine with the TWCS feature enabled, the Compound Canned
Cycle G-codes are used to perform tilted-head Drill/Bore/Tap operations when the currently selected WCS is not
transformed (TWCS=No). See Parameter 166 in Chapter 14 for information on Articulated Head configuration and
turning on the TWCS feature for the machine.
On a such a machine, Compound Canned Cycles are used as an alternative to the their corresponding non-
compound Canned Cycles because the non-compound versions cannot be used when the currently selected WCS is
not transformed (TWCS=No) and the spindle head is tilted off vertical (B/5
th
axis angle is not 0). In all other
situations, Compound Canned Cycles are the same in functionality as their corresponding non-compound
counterparts.
