DTD (dwell time at final drilling depth) 
 
The dwell time at final drilling depth can be entered in seconds or revolutions. 
DIS1 (programmable limit distance for VARI=1) 
 
The limit distance after re-insertion in the hole can be programmed. 
The limit distance is calculated within the cycle as follows: 
●  Up to a drilling depth of 30 mm, the value is set to 0.6 mm. 
●  For larger drilling depths, the limit distance is the result of  
(RFP + SDIS – current depth) / 50. If this calculated value >7, a limit of 7 mm, maximum, is applied. 
Programming example1: Deep-hole drilling 
This program executes the cycle CYCLE83 at the positions X80 Y120 and X80 Y60 in the XY plane. The first drill hole is 
drilled with a dwell time zero and machining type chip breaking. The final drilling depth and the first drilling depth are entered 
as absolute values. In the second cycle call, a dwell time of 1 s is programmed. Machining type chip removal is selected, the 
final drilling depth is relative to the reference plane. The drilling axis in both cases is the Z axis.
