5.FUNCTIONS TO SIMPLIFY PROGRAMMING PROGRAMMING B-63944EN-2/02
- 44 -
- Auxiliary function
When the G73 code and an M code are specified in the same block,
the M code is executed at the time of the first positioning operation.
When K is used to specify the number of repeats, the M code is
executed for the first hole only; for the second and subsequent holes,
the M code is not executed.
- Tool length compensation
When a tool length compensation (G43, G44, or G49) is specified in
the canned cycle for drilling, the offset is applied after the time of
positioning to point R.
Limitation
- Axis switching
Before the drilling axis can be changed, the canned cycle for drilling
must be canceled.
- Drilling
In a block that does not contain X, Y, Z, R, or any other axes, drilling
is not performed.
- Q
Specify Q in blocks that perform drilling. If they are specified in a
block that does not perform drilling, they cannot be stored as modal
data.
- Cancel
Do not specify a G code of the 01 group (G00 to G03) and G73 in a
single block. Otherwise, G73 will be canceled.
- Tool offset
In the canned cycle mode for drilling, tool offsets are ignored.
