Lathe roughing cycle G71, G72 <LATHEROUGH>
<LATHEROUGH(401)> canned cycle G71 performs roughing machining of the workpiece by the given part shape. F, S and T commands in the G71 line or already set before G71 line are used in the lathe roughing cycle G71. G71 cycle handles two mahining trajectory types. If in the programmed trajectory the X axis doesn't change it's direction, then it's the first type trajectory (type I). The second trajectory type (type II) allows the change of the X axis direction. The Z axis direction must not change for both types.
G73 canned cycle is similar to G71, but is used to machine part face.
The last motion for both cycles is the return to the starting S position. As shown on the image S is the tool position when the cycle was 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.
If the parameter CLD[12]=1, then after roughing cycle G71 or G72 can be caused by a finishing pass along the contour - G70 cycle.
