EXTCYCLE LATHEGROOVE - Lathe grooving cycle (G74, G75)
Cycle LATHEGROOVE(402) implements the G74 cylindrical grooving canned cycle and G75 face grooving canned cycle. Groove shape is rectangular and is defined by its dimensions: width and height. The cutting is done by consequent work passes of the tool with Z and X axes stepping.
Parameters
| CLD array | CLD name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CLD[1] | CLD.SubCmd | Command type: ON(71) – canned cycle on, CALL(52) – canned cycle call, OFF(72) – canned cycle off. |
| CLD[2] | CLD.SubType | Canned cycle type identifier: LATHEGROOVE(402) |
| CLD[3] | CLD.CLParams(1) | The groove type: 0 – turn groove (G75), 1 – face groove (G74) |
| CLD[4] | CLD.CLParams(2) | The signed width of the groove measured relative to the start point (W) |
| CLD[5] | CLD.CLParams(3) | The signed height of the groove measured relative to the start point (H) |
| CLD[6] | CLD.CLParams(4) | The absolute amount of the machining step by width (D) |
| CLD[7] | CLD.CLParams(5) | The absolute value of the machining step by height (chip breaking depth, L) |
| CLD[8] | CLD.CLParams(6) | The absolute distance of the side retract before return of tool (R) |
| CLD[9] | CLD.CLParams(7) | The absolute value of the lead out for chip breaking. |
| CLD[10] | CLD.CLParams(8) | Delay at the bottom in seconds |
| CLD[11] | CLD.CLParams(9) | Chip breaking mode: 0 - do not use, 1 - on first plunge, 2 - on every plunge. |
| CLD[12] | CLD.CLParams(10) | Width rough stock |
| CLD[13] | CLD.CLParams(11) | Height rough stock |
If a "signed" parameter is positive it is laid off in the positive direction of respective axis, otherwise it is laid off in negative direction.
Access from .NET
In addition to the base OnExtCycle, this cycle is delivered through the turning-family handler OnTurnExtCycle:
public override void OnTurnExtCycle(ICLDExtCycleCommand cmd, CLDArray cld)
See Extended cycle (EXTCYCLE) for the common .NET model.
