CYCLE TAP (M)

(Hardware Cycle)

CYCLE/TAP-84,z,f,IPM IPR,c[,LOCK,l][,CAM,n][,PULBAC,g]

1. Rapid to clearance c.

2. Advance at feedrate f to depth z.

3. Reverse spindle direction.

4. Retract at feedrate f to clearance c.

5. Reverse to original spindle direction.

LOCK,l Specifies the dwell time for spindle reverse. Initially a value of 2 seconds is assumed.

Example:

Input:

SPINDL/150

CYCLE/TAP,1.0,(1/13),IPR,.2

GOTO/0,0

Machine Data File Output:

N0006G84X0Y0R0002Z-001F011538$

(Software Cycle)

CYCLE/TAP,z,f,IPM IPR,c[,LOCK,l]

1. Rapid to clearance c.

2. Output M-code to disable feed override.

3. Advance at feedrate f to depth z.

4. Reverse spindle direction M-code with dwell.

5. Retract at feedrate f to clearance c.

6. Output original spindle direction M-code.

7. Output M-code to enable feed override.

LOCK,l Specifies the dwell time for spindle reverse. Initially a value of 2 seconds is assumed.
