11. PROGRAM COMMAND

Canned cycles make it easier for the programmer to create programs.
With a canned cycle, a frequently–used machining operation can be
specified in a single block with a G function; without canned cycles,
normally more than one block is required. In addition, the use of canned
cycles can shorten the program to save memory.
A canned cycle consists of a sequence of six operations.
Operation 1 Positioning a hole position
Operation 2 Rapid traverse up to point R level
Operation 3 Hole machining
Operation 4 Operation at the bottom of a hole
Operation 5 Retraction to point R level
Operation 6 Rapid traverse up to the initial point
