For the forms A and B, the undercut angle of the active tool is monitored in the cycle. If it is
detected that the form of the undercut cannot be machined using the selected tool, the
message "Changed form of undercut" is displayed on the control system; the machining,
however, is continued.
Note
Before calling the cycle, a tool compensation must be activated; otherwise, the cycle is
terminated and the error message 61000 "No tool compensation active" is issued.
Programming example: Thread undercut form A
This program can be used to program a thread undercut of form A.
