_RAD1 (radius)
With the parameter _RAD1 you define the radius of
the helical path (i.e. the tool center point path) or the
maximum insertion angle for oscillation.
_DP1 (insertion depth)
With the parameter _DP1 you define the infeed
depth for insertion on the helical path.
Further notes
A tool offset must be activated before the cycle is
called. Otherwise the cycle is aborted and alarm
61000 "No tool offset active" is output.
A new workpiece coordinate system that influences
the actual value display is used in the cycle. The
zero point of this coordinate system lies on the
pocket center point.
The original coordinate system becomes active
again after the end of the cycle.
