CANNED GRINDING CYCLE
(FOR GRINDING MACHINE)
4.5 CANNED GRINDING CYCLE (FOR GRINDING MACHINE)
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:
・ Traverse grinding cycle (G71)
(In case of G code system C, it is G72).
・ Traverse direct fixed-dimension grinding cycle (G72)
(In case of G code system C, it is G73).
・ Oscillation grinding cycle (G73)
(In case of G code system C, it is G74).
・ Oscillation direct fixed-dimension grinding cycle (G74)
(In case of G code system C, it is G75).
By the explanations of the rest, the way of expression of the axis which performs cutting of
grinding-wheel, grinding of grinding-wheel and cutting of the dresser are as follows.
A axis which performs cutting of grinding-wheel: Cutting axis
A axis which performs grinding of grinding-wheel: Grinding axis
During the canned grinding cycle execution, the following functions are not available.
・ Programmable mirror image
・ Scaling
・ Coordinate system rotation
・ 3-dimensional coordinate conversion
・ One-digit F code feed
・ Tool length compensation
The setting unit for the cutting depth of the cutting axis and the grinding amount of the
grinding axis is the same as the unit (parameter No.1013) of a reference axis (parameter
No.1031). When the setting of the reference axis (parameter No.1031) is set to ‘0’, the setting
unit accords with the unit of the first axis.
