"Circular tapping pattern, face" unit
This unit machines a circular tapping pattern on the face of the
workpiece.
Unit name: G73_Cir_Stirn_C / Cycle: G73 (see page 318)
Use the retraction length for floating tap holders. The cycle
calculates a new nominal pitch on the basis of the thread depth, the
programmed pitch, and the retraction length. The nominal pitch is
somewhat smaller than the pitch of the tap. During tapping, the tap is
pulled away from the chuck by the retraction length. With this method
you can achieve higher service life from taps.

Pattern form
Q
Number of holes
XM, CM Polar center point
XK, YK
Cartesian center point
A Starting angle
Wi Angle increment
K Pattern diameter
W End angle
VD Rotation direction (default: 0)
 VD=0, without W: Figures are arranged on a full circle
 VD=0, with W: Figures are arranged on the longer
circular arc
 VD=0, with Wi: The algebraic sign of Wi defines the
direction (Wi<0: clockwise)
 VD=1, with W: Clockwise
 VD=1, with Wi: Clockwise (algebraic sign of Wi has no
effect)
 VD=2, with W: Counterclockwise
 VD=2, with Wi: Counterclockwise (algebraic sign of Wi
has no effect)
