11 At the end of the cycle, the TNC retracts the tool at rapid traverse
to the set-up clearance, or—if programmed—to the 2nd set-up 
clearance.
Before programming, note the following:
Program a positioning block for the starting point (stud 
center) in the working plane with radius compensation 
G40.
The offset required before countersinking at the front 
should be determined ahead of time. You must enter the 
value from the center of the stud to the center of the tool 
(uncorrected value).
The algebraic sign of the cycle parameters depth of thread, 
countersinking depth or sinking depth at front determines 
the working direction. The working direction is defined in 
the following sequence:
1st: Depth of thread
2nd: Depth at front
If you program a depth parameter to be 0, the TNC does 
not execute that step.
The algebraic sign for the cycle parameter thread depth 
determines the working direction. 
Enter in MP7441 bit 2 whether the TNC should output an 
error message (bit 2=1) or not (bit 2=0) if a positive depth 
is entered.
Danger of collision!
Keep in mind that the TNC reverses the calculation for pre-
positioning when a positive depth is entered. This 
means that the tool moves at rapid traverse in the tool axis 
at safety clearance below the workpiece surface!
