Press this softkey to open the window for CYCLE84. Parameterize the cycle as desired. 
 
 
5.  Confirm your settings with this softkey. The cycle is then automatically transferred to the program 
editor as a separate block.  
 
Tapping with compensating chuck - CYCLE840 
Programming 
CYCLE840 (RTP, RFP, SDIS, DP, DPR, DTB, SDR, SDAC, ENC, MPIT, PIT, AXN)  
RTP  REAL  Retraction plane (absolute) 
RFP  REAL  Reference plane (absolute) 
SDIS  REAL  Safety clearance (enter without sign) 
DP  REAL  Final drilling depth (absolute) 
DPR  REAL  Final drilling depth relative to the reference plane (enter without sign) 
DTB  REAL  Dwell time at thread depth (chip breakage) 
SDR  INT  Direction of rotation for retraction 
Values: 0 (automatic direction reversal), 3 or 4 (for M3 or M4) 
SDAC  INT  Direction of rotation after end of cycle 
Values: 3, 4 or 5 (for M3, M4 or M5) 
ENC  INT  Tapping with/without encoder 
Values: 0 = with encoder, 1 = without encoder 
MPIT  REAL  Thread lead as a thread size (signed): 
Range of values 3 (for M3) to 48 (for M48) 
PST  REAL  Thread lead as a value (signed) 
Range of values: 0.001 ... 2000.000 mm 
AXN  INT  Tool axis 
Values
1)
: 
1: 1st axis of the current plane 
2: 2nd axis of the current plane 
3: 3rd axis of the current plane 
1)
  The definition of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd axes depends upon the current plane selected.
