[Program format]
LE33013R0300900400002
Since the G188 cycle contains only Q
1
and Q
2
cycles, repeated designation of G188 in succession
as in the program above can cut threads continuously.
Cycle operation
The thread cutting cycle is carried out in accordance with the commands in sequence N103 up to
the commanded target point (X
1
+ I, Z
2
). Then, the axes are returned to the starting point at the
rapid feedrate by the command G180 (cancel) specified in the N104 sequence.
Q
1
: The axes are positioned in the G00 mode to the point specified by X
0
- I and Z
1
. After the
completion of positioning, the M-tool spindle starts rotation in the forward direction.
Q
2
: The C-axis starts rotation and the thread cutting cycle is carried out up to point (X
1
, Z
1
+
K) in the G01 mode.
