Cylindrical Grinding Fixed Cycles
Chapter 17
17-23
If no value is entered for Q then no shift is made. If a value greater than or
equal to X is entered, then the shift is made only to the last plunge point
defined by X. If the sign of the value entered here sends the axis away
from the last plunge point instead of towards it, an error is generated.
L, F, E, P, and D -- These parameters were described on page 17-9.
The format for the G85 cycle is as follows:
G18;
G85Z__K__X__Q__L__F__E__P__D__;
Table 17.E summarizes the G85 cycle parameters. For a detailed
description of these parameters, see the text below and page 17-9.

Figure 17.6 shows the axis motions that make up the G85 multi-pass
diameter grinding cycle. This figure assumes that the ZX plane (G18) is
active.
