SECTION 7 FIXED CYCLES
• C-axis clamp effective/ineffective command
When the workpiece is cut using a small-diameter drill in the compound fixed cycle, or when the
material to be cut is soft, the C-axis does not need to be clamped during cutting.
When M141 (C-axis clamp ineffective) is designated, C-axis clamp motion is eliminated,
resulting in a reduced cycle time.
M169 is only effective within one block.
• Ignoring the M-tool constant speed rotation answer for M140 (tapping cycle)
In the tapping cycle, cutting feed starts after receiving the M-tool constant speed rotation
answer. Because of this, a time lag occurs between the start of tool rotation and the start of
cutting feed. Normally, the time lag is adjusted by a mechanism in the tapping unit. If the time
lag cannot be adjusted, designate M140 (ignoring the M-tool constant speed rotation answer).
The M-tool constant speed rotation answer is ignored.
