LINEAR PATTERN (Cycle G221)
1
The TNC automatically moves the tool from its current position to 
the starting point for the first machining operation.
Sequence:
n
Move to the 2nd set-up clearance (spindle axis).
n
Approach the starting point in the spindle axis.
n
Move to the set-up clearance above the workpiece surface 
(spindle 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 reference axis direction at the set-up 
clearance (or the 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
From this position the tool approaches the starting point for the 
next machining operation in the negative reference axis direction.
7
This process (6) is repeated until all machining operations in the 
second line have been executed.
8
The tool then moves to the starting point of the next line.
9
All subsequent lines are processed in a reciprocating movement.

Before programming, note the following:
Cycle G221 is DEF active, which means that Cycle G221 
automatically calls the last defined fixed cycle.
If you combine Cycle G221 with one of the fixed cycles 
G200 to G209, G212 to G215 and G262 to G267, the set-
up clearance, workpiece surface and 2nd set-up clearance 
that you defined in Cycle G221 will be effective for the 
selected fixed cycle.
