Tapping cycle G84 <W5DTap>



Tapping cycle <W5DTap(484)> (G84) performs rapid approach to the <Z return> level, thread tapping with subsequent retraction at work feedrate with reverse spindle rotation.

G84 tapping cycle includes:

  • Rapid approach to the hole center at the <Z return> level.

  • Rapid travel to the <Z safe level>.

  • Work feedrate motion the <Z min> level.

  • Spindle reverse rotation and work feedrate trave to <Z safe> level.

  • Rapid retract to the <Z return> level.

  • Restore spindle rotation direction and speed.

If the appropriate setting is enabled, then tap retracts to break / remove chip during the cycle execution. Way to break chips is determined by CLD [20] parameter.

CNC-systems often have different tapping canned cycles for fixed and floating socket types. Socket type is specified by the <CLD[19]> (CLD.CLParams(17)) parameter.

Parameters:
