ICP tapping, C axis unit

The unit machines a single tap hole or a tapping pattern on the face
or lateral surface. Using ICP, you define the positions of the tap
holes as well as further details.
Unit name: G73_ICP_C / cycle: G73
Further information: "Tapping G73", Page 376
Pattern form:
FK: No. of ICP finished part – name of contour to be machined
NS: Starting block no. of contour – beginning of contour
section
Cycle form:
F1: Thread pitch
B: Run-in lgth, to achieve the programmed speed and feed rate
(default: 2 * Thread pitch F1)
L: Retract length with use of floating tap holders (default: 0)
SR: Return speed (default: tapping speed)
SP: Chip breaking depth
SI: Retraction distance
RB: Return plane

Use the Retract length for floating tap holders. The cycle
calculates a new nominal pitch on the basis of the thread depth,
the programmed pitch, and the retraction length. The nominal pitch
is somewhat smaller than the pitch of the tap. During tapping, the
tap is pulled away from the chuck by the retraction length. With this
method you can achieve higher service life from the taps.
