Working with cycles

Before you can use the cycles, you must set the workpiece datum
and ensure that the tools you are going to use are described. You
enter the machine data (tool, feed rate, spindle speed) in Teach-
in submode together with the other cycle parameters. In Machine
mode you must program these machine data before calling a cycle.
The cutting data can be taken from the technology
database using the Proposed technology soft key. For
this database access, a machining type is permanently
assigned to every cycle.
Define the individual cycles as follows:
Position the tool tip with the handwheel or the jog keys at the
starting point of the cycle (only in Machine mode)
Select and program a cycle
Graphically test the cycle
Execute the cycle
Save the cycle (only in Teach-in submode)

Cycle starting point

In Machine mode, cycles are executed from the current tool
position.
In Teach-in submode, you enter the starting point as one of the
parameters. The control moves to this position in rapid traverse by
the shortest path (diagonal) before executing the cycle.
Danger of collision!
The control does not automatically check whether collisions can
occur between the tool and the workpiece. There is danger of
collision during the approach movement!
If necessary, program an additional rapid traverse path to a
safe auxiliary position
