You can access the "Manual tapping" function by pressing the softkey "Tapping" in the
drilling cycle overview.
Alternatively, you can select "Tapping" with <Cursor keys> and activate with the input key.

Tapping operation
The machining sequence is as follows:
1. Starting from the current axis position, the tool is traversed to the cycle start point in the
2. The transverse axis is positioned to the center of rotation.
3. The controller then waits (at the cycle start point) for the next zero mark of the spindle
4. When the thread length (end point) is reached, the spindle and longitudinal axis change
5. The longitudinal axis then stops at the cycle start point and the spindle changes direction

Tapping
Description
Start position for the drill hole in the longitudinal axis
(absolute position of Z axis)
Enter the thread length here. The tapping direction is always towards the chuck and cannot
be reversed. The choice of "left-hand or right-hand thread" depends on the direction of
rotation of the spindle and the thread tapping tool.
Enter the thread pitch here.
Depending on the manufacturer, you can select as to whether the machining is carried-out
with or without compensating chuck.
