2.5 Units—Dr
illing in C axis
"Linear tapping pattern, face" unit
The unit machines a linear tapping pattern in which the individual
features are arranged at a regular spacing on the face.
Unit name: G73_Lin_Stirn_C / Cycle: G73 (see page 316)
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.
