Example
Assume that the U, V and W axes be parallel to the X, Y, and Z axes
respectively. This condition is specified by parameter No. 1022.
G17 G81 Z _ _: The Z axis is used for drilling.
G17 G81 W _ _: The W axis is used for drilling.
G18 G81 Y _ _: The Y axis is used for drilling.
G18 G81 V _ _: The V axis is used for drilling.
G19 G81 X _ _: The X axis is used for drilling.
G19 G81 U _ _: The U axis is used for drilling.
G17 to G19 may be specified in a block in which any of G73 to G89
is not specified.
CAUTION
Switch the drilling axis after canceling a canned
cycle for drilling.
NOTE
A parameter FXY (No. 5101 #0) can be set to the Z
axis always used as the drilling axis. When
FXY=0, the Z axis is always the drilling axis.
- Travel distance along the drilling axis G90/G91
The travel distance along the drilling axis varies for G90 and G91 as
follows:

- Drilling mode
G73, G74, G76, and G81 to G89 are modal G codes and remain in
effect until canceled. When in effect, the current state is the drilling
mode.
Once drilling data is specified in the drilling mode, the data is retained
until modified or canceled.
Specify all necessary drilling data at the beginning of canned cycles;
when canned cycles are being performed, specify data modifications
only.
