Select tapping, radial
This cycle is used to tap a thread on the lateral surface of a workpiece.
Meaning of retraction length: 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 drill is pulled away from the chuck by the retraction length.
With this method you can achieve higher service life from the taps.
Cycle parameters
X, Z
Starting point
C Spindle angle (C-axis position)—(default: current spindle
position)
X1 Starting point of hole (default: drilling starts from X)
X2 End point drill (end point of hole)
F1 Thread pitch (= feed rate) (default: feed rate from tool
definition)
B Run-in length to reach the programmed spindle speed and
feed rate (default: 2 * thread pitch F1)
SR Return speed for enabling rapid retraction (default: same
spindle speed as for tapping)
L Retraction length when using floating tap holders (default:
0)
SCK Safety clearance (see page 128)
G60 Protection zone—deactivates the protection zone for the
drilling process
 0: Active
 1: Inactive
