Cycle parameters
Q200 Set-up clearance? (incremental): Distance
between tool tip and workpiece surface Input range
0 to 99999.9999
Q201 Depth of thread? (incremental): Distance
between workpiece surface and root of thread.
Input range -99999.9999 to 99999.9999
Q239 Pitch?: Pitch of the thread. The algebraic sign
differentiates between right-hand and left-hand
threads:
+ = right-hand thread
–= left-hand thread
Input range -99.9999 to 99.9999
Q203 Workpiece surface coordinate? (absolute):
Coordinate of the workpiece surface. Input range
-99999.9999 to 99999.9999
Q204 2nd set-up clearance? (incremental):
Coordinate in the spindle axis at which no collision
between tool and workpiece (fixtures) can occur.
Input range 0 to 99999.9999
Q257 Infeed depth for chip breaking?
(incremental): Plunging depth after which the TNC
breaks the chip. No chip breaking if 0 is entered.
Input range 0 to 99999.9999
Q256 Retract dist. for chip breaking?: The TNC
multiplies the pitch Q239 by the programmed
value and retracts the tool by the calculated value
during chip breaking. If you enter Q256 = 0, the
TNC retracts the tool completely from the hole (to
the set-up clearance) for chip breaking. Input range
0.000 to 99999.999
Q336 Angle for spindle orientation? (absolute):
Angle to which the TNC positions the tool before
machining the thread. This allows you to regroove
the thread, if required. Input range -360.0000 to
360.0000
Q403 RPM factor for retraction?: Factor by
which the TNC increases the spindle speed—
and therefore also the retraction feed rate—when
retracting from the drill hole. Input range 0.0001 to
10. Maximum increase to maximum speed of the
active gear range.
