Template 11: Boring Cycle, Spindle Shift
Letter Paramacro Label Description
G 500 G90/91 G-codes G90 or G91 for absolute or incremental modes. At this time only absolute
mode, G90, is available.
X,Y 501, 502 HOLE POSITION X, Y The location to which the tool moves before it begins a boring operation.
X 503 DEPTH TO TAP OR HOLE The location to which the tool bores into the part.
R 504 CLEAR POSITION The location that the tool retracts to after an operation. It is completely free of the
part. This also known as the R plane.
X,Y 505, 506 RETURN POSITION X, Y The location where the controls starts and stops a cycle.
F 507 FEEDRATE The feedrate for drilling/boring operations, and all moves represented by the solid
lines in the QuickView screens. This is also the maximum feedrate for operations
that use adaptive depth.
Q 508 SHIFT AMOUNT The amount of distance the spindle shifts so that the tool can retract without
damaging the part. The orient of the part when it completes the cut is set in AMP.
X 509 TOOL CHANGE POSITION The location the control moves to so that a tool change may be performed.
I 510 HARD STOP SENSE ZONE Once it reaches this location, the control knows to expect a hard stop before
reaching the hole bottom.
I 511 ADAPTIVE DEPTH
INCREMENT The amount of distance that the control will increment the tool into the part during an
adaptive depth operation.
M 512 M03/M04 The M--code used to turn the spindle clockwise or counter-clockwise.
S 513 SPINDLE SPEED The speed of the spindle. Measured in revolutions per minute.
