Programming cycles
A cycle is defined as a subroutine with a name and parameter list assigned.
9.3.1
Call and return conditions
The G functions effective prior to the cycle call and the programmable offsets remain active
beyond the cycle.
The machining level (G17, G18, G19) must be defined before calling the cycle. A cycle
operates in the current plane with the following axes:
●
1st axis of the plane (abscissa)
●
2nd axis of the plane (ordinate)
●
Tool axis/infeed axis, 3rd axis, standing vertically to the plane (applicate).
