Circular Tapping Pattern, Lateral Surface" Unit - HEIDENHAIN MANUALPLUS 620 User Manual

"Circular tapping pattern, lateral surface" unit

This unit machines a circular tapping pattern on the lateral surface of
the workpiece.
Unit name: G73_Cir_Mant_C / Cycle: G73 (see page 296)
Pattern form
Q Number of holes
ZM, CM Center point of pattern
A Start angle
Wi Angle increment
K Pattern diameter
W Final angle
VD Rotation direction (default: 0)
VD=0, without W: Figures are arranged on a full circle
VD=0, with W: Figures are arranged on the longer
circular arc
VD=0, with Wi: The algebraic sign of Wi defines the
direction (Wi<0: clockwise)
VD=1, with W: Clockwise
VD=1, with Wi: Clockwise (algebraic sign of Wi has no
effect)
VD=2, with W: Counterclockwise
VD=2, with Wi: Counterclockwise (algebraic sign of Wi
has no effect)
Cycle form
X1 Start point drill (starting point of hole; diameter value)
X2 End point drill (end point of hole; diameter value)
F1 Thread pitch
B Run-in length
L Retraction length when using floating tap holders
(default: 0)
SR Return speed (default: Tapping speed)
RB Return plane
Further forms: see page 46
Use the retraction 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 taps.
