"Centric tapping" unit
The unit cuts axial threads using stationary tools.
Unit name: G73_CENTR / Cycle: G73 (see page 316)
Retraction length L: Use this parameter 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 the taps.
