WARNING
1 Feedrate override is effective (fixed at 100%) during threading.
2 It is very dangerous to stop feeding the thread cutter without stopping the spindle.
This will suddenly increase the cutting depth. Thus, the feed hold function is
ineffective while threading. If the feed hold button is pressed during threading, the
tool will stop after a block not specifying threading is executed as if the SINGLE
BLOCK button were pushed. However, the feed hold lamp (SPL lamp) lights when
the FEED HOLD button on the machine control panel is pushed. Then, when the
tool stops, the lamp is turned off (Single Block stop status).
3 When the FEED HOLD button is pressed again in the first block after threading
mode that does not specify threading (or the button has been held down), the tool
stops immediately at the block that does not specify threading.
4 When threading is executed in the single block status, the tool stops after execution
of the first block not specifying threading.
5 When the mode was changed from automatic operation to manual operation during
threading, the tool stops at the first block not specifying threading as when the feed
hold button is pushed as mentioned in Warning 3.
However, when the mode is changed from one automatic operation mode to
another, the tool stops after execution of the block not specifying threading as for
the single block mode in Note 4.
6 When the previous block was a threading block, cutting will start immediately
without waiting for detection of the one-spindle-rotation signal even if the present
block is a threading block.
G32Z _ F_ ;
Z _; (A 1-turn signal is not detected before this block.)
G32 ; (Regarded as threading block.)
Z_ F_ ; (One turn signal is also not detected.)
7 Because the constant surface speed control is effective during scroll thread or
tapered screw cutting and the spindle speed changes, the correct thread lead may
not be cut. Therefore, do not use the constant surface speed control during
threading. Instead, use G97.
8 A movement block preceding the threading block must not specify chamfering or
corner R.
9 A threading block must not specifying chamfering or corner R.
10 The spindle speed override function is disabled during threading. The spindle
speed is fixed at 100%.
11 Thread cycle retract function is ineffective to G32.
