Cycle parameters

Set-up clearance Q200 (incremental): Distance
between tool tip and workpiece surface. Input range
0 to 99999.9999
Thread depth Q201 (incremental): Distance
between workpiece surface and root of thread.
Input range -99999.9999 to 99999.9999
Thread 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
Coordinate of workpiece surface Q203 (absolute):
Coordinate of the workpiece surface. Input range
-99999.9999 to 99999.9999
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

Retracting after a program interruption

Retracting in the Manual Operation mode

You can interrupt the thread cutting process by pressing the NC
Stop key. A soft key for retracting the tool from the thread is
displayed in the soft-key row below the screen. When you press
this soft key and the NC Start key, the tool retracts from the
hole and returns to the starting point of machining. The spindle
is stopped automatically and the TNC displays a message.

Retracting in the Program Run, Single Block or Full Sequence
mode

You can interrupt the thread cutting process by pressing the
NC Stop key and then INTERNAL STOP. The TNC displays
the

MANUAL OPERATION soft key. After pressing MANUAL

OPERATION, you can retract the tool in the active spindle axis.
To resume machining after the interruption, press the

RESTORE

POSITION soft key and NC Start. The TNC moves the tool back
to the starting position.

When retracting the tool you can move it in the
positive and negative tool axis directions. Please
keep this in mind during retraction—danger of
collision!
