Lathe finish cycle G70, G73 <LATHEFINISH>
<LATHEFINISH(400)> (G73) standard cycle is used for the rough machining of prior formed (molded, for example) workpiece. When machining with the standard cycle it is assumed that the material is removed or missing at a given distance from the programmed tool trajectory (PQ-block).
When cycle machining the values of F, S и T defined before the G73 frame or directly in the G73 frame. Feedrate (F), spindle speed (S) and tool change (T) commands between P and Q lines are ignored.
The first roughing cut offset is defined as (U/2 + I) along the X axis and (W + K) along the Z axis. Every following roughing cut approaches the last roughing cut contour by (I/(D-1)) along the X axis and (K/(D-1)) along the Z axis. The last roughing cut always leaves stock material U/2 for the X axis and W for the Z axis.
<LATHEFINISH> canned cycle is also used to form lathe finishing cycle G70 along the contour. If stocks are zero and there is only one cut then the lathe finishing G70 cycle is called.
Lathe cycles assume the part programmed contour PQ is defined. SprutCAM passes the contour as NC-subroutine. The number of the subroutine is specified in the <CLD[3]> parameter.

|
CLD[6] |
CLD.CLParams(4) |
The signed thickness by X (I) axis. It is equal to zero for G70 cycle. |
|
CLD[7] |
CLD.CLParams(5) |
The signed stock by Z (W) axis. It is equal to zero for G70 cycle. |

Machining type: 1 — OD, 2 — ID |
|
CLD[12] |
CLD.CLParams(10) |
Availability of finish pass (G70): 0 — without finish pass, 1 — with finish pass. |
|
CLD[13] |
CLD.CLParams(11) |
Equidistant stock for contour |
If a "signed" parameter is positive it is laid off in the positive direction of the respective axis, otherwise it is laid off in the negative direction.
