HOLE PATTERN
Hole Pattern available only for drilling cycles. After
drilling has been performed, 'Hole Pattern' must be
used, to define the position of holes.
Selection by Soft-Key
To select a 'Hole Pattern', Soft-Key's can be used.
Please see Soft-Key structure on side.
In some pattern more detailed pattern available, like
LINE with same space
different space
ARC with same space
different space
There are several Cycles available for frequently
needed machining operations.
Important note:
As to the detailed specifications, such as the restriction,
refer to the Operator's Manual describing the CNC of the
FANUC Series 16/18/21i -MA
