Cycle parameters
U
Set-up clearance Q200 (incremental): Distance
between tool tip (at starting position) and workpiece 
surface. Input range 0 to 99999.9999
U
Thread depth Q201 (incremental): Distance between
workpiece surface and end of thread. Input range 
-99999.9999 to 99999.9999
U
Pitch Q239
Pitch of the thread. The algebraic sign differentiates 
between right-hand and left-hand threads:
+= right-hand thread
–= left-hand thread
Input range -99.9999 to 99.9999
U
Workpiece surface coordinate Q203 (absolute):
Coordinate of the workpiece surface. Input range 
-99999.9999 to 99999.9999
U
2nd set-up clearance Q204 (incremental): Coordinate
in the spindle axis at which no collision between tool 
and workpiece (fixtures) can occur. Input range 0 to 
99999.9999
U
Infeed depth for chip breaking Q257 (incremental):
Depth at which TNC carries out chip breaking. Input 
range 0 to 99999.9999
U
Retraction rate for chip breaking Q256: The TNC
multiplies the pitch Q239 by the programmed value 
and retracts the tool by the calculated value during 
chip breaking. If you enter Q256 = 0, the TNC retracts 
the tool completely from the hole (to the set-up 
clearance) for chip breaking. Input range 0.1000 to 
99999.9999
U
Angle for spindle orientation Q336 (absolute): Angle
at which the TNC positions the tool before machining 
the thread. This allows you to regroove the thread, if 
required. Input range -360.0000 to 360.0000.
U
RPM factor for retraction Q403: Factor by which the
TNC increases the spindle speed—and therefore also 
the retraction feed rate—when retracting from the 
drill hole. Input range 0.0001 to 10; the speed is 
increased at most to the maximum speed of the 
active gear range.
Retracting after a program interruption
If you interrupt program run during thread cutting with the machine 
stop button, the TNC will display the MANUAL OPERATION soft key. 
If you press the MANUAL OPERATION key, you can retract the tool 
under program control. Simply press the positive axis direction button 
of the active spindle axis.
