LINEAR PATTERN (Cycle 221)

Before programming, note the following:

Cycle 221 is DEF active, which means that Cycle 221
calls the last defined fixed cycle.

If you combine Cycle 221 with one of the fixed cycles
200 to 204 and 212 to 215, the set-up clearance,
workpiece surface and 2nd set-up clearance that you
defined in Cycle 221 will be effective for the selected
fixed cycle.

1 The TNC automatically moves the tool from its current position to

the starting point for the first machining operation.

The tool is positioned in the following sequence:

Move to 2nd set-up clearance (tool axis)

Approach starting point in the working plane

Move to set-up clearance above the workpiece surface

(tool axis)

2 From this position, the TNC executes the last defined fixed cycle.

3 The tool then approaches the starting point for the next

machining operation in the positive main axis direction at set-up
clearance (or 2nd set-up clearance).

4 This process (1 to 3) is repeated until all machining operations on

the first line have been executed. The tool is located above the
last point on the first line.

5 The tool subsequently moves to the last point on the second line

where it carries out the machining operation.

6 The tool then approaches the starting point for the next

machining operation in the negative main axis direction and
executes the operation there.
