Canned grinding cycles make it easier for the programmer to create
programs that include grinding. With a canned grinding cycle, repetitive
operation peculiar to grinding can be specified in a single block with a G
function; without canned grinding cycles, normally more than one block
is required. In addition, the use of canned grinding cycles shortens the
program to save memory. The following four canned grinding cycles are
available:
⋅
Plunge grinding cycle (G75)
⋅Direct constant–dimension plunge grinding cycle (G77)
⋅Continuous–feed surface grinding cycle (G78)
⋅Intermittent–feed surface grinding cycle (G79)
