such as moldings and forgings whose cutting
shapes are roughly made beforehand.

Address U , W, I and K must be program-
med with signs.
Address D for number of cuttings must be
programmed without signs, obeying the fol-
lowing restriction.
D command out of the above range causes
data error. (Alarm code “ 096”)
When D is 1, the cutting of I and K values
is completed in a single cycle remaining
finishing allowance.
Finishing shape should be programmed im-
mediately after the block containing G73.
The start (Nns) and end (Nnf) block of a
finishing shape cycle must be programmed
with GOO or GO1.
But these 2 blocks need not be parallel with
X or Z axis.
