Cycle

Mote: Not all cycles are currently implemented.

Cycle - Mill Facing

Mill facing is a machining process used on a CNC machines to produce a flat, smooth surface on a workpiece. The process involves using a cutting tool, typically a face mill, to remove material from the surface of the workpiece.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.

Cycle - Mill Profile

Mill profile cutting is a machining process used on a CNC machines to produce a contoured surface on a workpiece. The process involves using a cutting tool, typically an end mill, to remove material and create a profile or shape on the surface of the workpiece.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.

Cycle - Mill Pocket

Mill pocketing is a machining process used on a CNC machines to produce a recessed area or “pocket” in a workpiece. The process involves using a cutting tool, typically an end mill, to remove material and create a cavity on the surface of the workpiece.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.

Cycle - Mill Circular Pocket

Circular pocketing is a machining process used on a CNC machines to produce a circular recessed area or “pocket” in a workpiece. The process involves using a cutting tool, typically an end mill, to remove material and create a circular cavity on the surface of the workpiece.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.


Cycle - Drill

CNC drill cycle is a process used in CNC machines to produce a cylindrical hole in a workpiece. The cycle involves using a cutting tool, which is typically a drill bit, to remove material and create the hole.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.

Cycle - Drill Tap

CNC tap drill cycle is a process used in CNC machines to produce a threaded hole in a workpiece. The cycle involves using a cutting tool, typically a drill bit, to produce a cylindrical hole in the workpiece, followed by a tapping tool to cut the thread into the hole.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.


Cycle - Turn Facing

CNC lathe facing cycle is a process used in CNC lathes to produce flat surfaces on a cylindrical or conical workpiece. This cycle uses a cutting tool, which moves along the X axis of the workpiece and cuts material along the circumference to produce a flat surface.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.

Cycle - Turn Roughing

CNC lathe roughing cycle is a process used in CNC lathes to remove large amounts of material from a workpiece quickly and efficiently. The cycle involves cutting a larger amount of material in one pass than a finishing operation would. This cycle is often used as the first step in machining a workpiece to rough shape, followed by one or more finishing cycles to achieve the final dimensions and surface finish.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.

Cycle - Turn Repeating

CNC lathe pattern repeat cycle is a process used in CNC lathes that allows a specific cutting sequence to be repeated multiple times on a workpiece with a single command. This cycle is used to produce identical features on a workpiece without the need to program each feature individually.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.

Cycle - Turn Finishing

CNC lathe finishing cycle is a process used in CNC lathes to produce a fine surface finish on a workpiece. The cycle uses a cutting tool, which is designed for a light, precise cut to remove a minimal amount of material and produce a smooth surface.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.

Cycle - Turn Grooving

CNC lathe grooving cycle is a process used in CNC lathes to produce a narrow, straight groove on the surface of a workpiece. The cycle involves using a cutting tool, which is typically a grooving tool, to cut a shallow channel into the surface of the workpiece.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.

Cycle - Turn Threading

CNC lathe threading cycle is a process used in CNC lathes to produce screw threads on the surface of a workpiece. The cycle involves using a cutting tool, which is typically a threading tool, to cut a helical groove into the surface of the workpiece to form the thread. This cycle is commonly used in manufacturing for producing threaded parts for various applications, such as for fastening, connecting, or adjusting components.


This program feature is scriptable.
For more info regarding Scripts, please read chapters Scripts.
