(Cycle 823)
Application
This cycle enables you to face turn plunge elements (undercuts).
You can use the cycle either for roughing, finishing or complete 
machining. Turning is run paraxially with roughing. 
The cycle can be used for inside and outside machining. If the start 
diameter Q491 is larger than the end diameter Q493, the cycle runs 
outside machining. If the start diameter Q491 is less than the end 
diameter Q493, the cycle runs inside machining.
Roughing cycle run
In undercutting the TNC runs the infeed with feed rate Q478. The 
return movements are then each at set-up clearance.
1
The TNC runs a paraxial infeed motion at rapid traverse. The infeed 
value is calculated by the TNC with Q463 MAX. CUTTING DEPTH.
2
The TNC machines the area between the starting position and end 
point in the plane direction at the defined feed rate.
3
The TNC returns the tool at the defined feed rate Q478 by the 
infeed value. 
4
The TNC positions the tool back at rapid traverse to the beginning 
of cut.
5
The TNC repeats this process (1 to 4) until the final contour is 
completed.
6
The TNC positions the tool back at rapid traverse to the cycle 
starting point.
