Prerequisites
n Your machine tool should feature internal spindle cooling (cooling
lubricant min. 30 bar, compressed air supply min. 6 bar).
n Thread milling usually leads to distortions of the thread profile. To
correct this effect, you need tool-specific compensation values
which are given in the tool catalog or are available from the tool
manufacturer. You program the compensation with the delta value
for the tool radius DR in the tool call .
n The Cycles 262, 263, 264 and 267 can only be used with rightward
rotating tools. For Cycle 265, you can use rightward and leftward
rotating tools.
n
The working direction is determined by the following input
parameters: Algebraic sign Q239 (+ = right-hand thread /– = left-
hand thread) and milling method Q351 (+1 = climb /–1 = up-cut). The
table below illustrates the interrelation between the individual input
parameters for rightward rotating tools.
Internal thread Pitch Climb/Up-cut Work direction
Right-handed + +1(RL) Z+
Left-handed – –1(RR) Z+
Right-handed + –1(RR) Z–
Left-handed – +1(RL) Z–
External thread Pitch Climb/Up-cut Work direction
Right-handed + +1(RL) Z–
Left-handed – –1(RR) Z–
Right-handed + –1(RR) Z+
Left-handed – +1(RL) Z+
