Calling cycles
Prerequisites
The following data must always be programmed before a
cycle call:
BLK FORM for graphic display (needed only for test
graphics)
Tool call
Direction of spindle rotation (M functions M3/M4)
Cycle definition (CYCL DEF)
For some cycles, additional prerequisites must be
observed. They are detailed in the descriptions for each
cycle.
The following cycles become effective automatically as soon as they
are defined in the part program. These cycles cannot and must not be
called:
Cycle 220 for point patterns on circles and Cycle 221 for point
patterns on lines
SL Cycle 14 CONTOUR GEOMETRY
SL Cycle 20 CONTOUR DATA
Cycle 32 TOLERANCE
Coordinate transformation cycles
Cycle 9 DWELL TIME
All touch probe cycles
You can call all other cycles with the functions described as follows.
Calling a cycle with CYCL CALL
The CYCL CALL function calls the most recently defined fixed cycle
once. The starting point of the cycle is the position that was
programmed last before the CYCL CALL block.
U
To program the cycle call, press the CYCL CALL key
U
Press the CYCL CALL M soft key to enter a cycle call
U
If necessary, enter the miscellaneous function M (for
example M3 to switch the spindle on), or end the
dialog by pressing the END key
Calling a cycle with CYCL CALL PAT
The CYCL CALL PAT function calls the most recently defined fixed cycle
at all positions that you defined in a PATTERN DEF pattern definition
(see "Pattern Definition PATTERN DEF" on page 58) or in a point table
(see "Point Tables" on page 66).

Questions and answers
Can I change the approach direction when cycle def a stud to avoid obstruction to the right
The provided context does not explicitly mention changing the approach direction to avoid obstruction. However, it describes selecting different axis configurations using the MOD function in the Programming and Editing mode. If modifying the axis configuration allows for adjusting the approach direction, it may be possible. Otherwise, specific cycle parameters should be checked in the programming manual.
