In feed–per–minute mode, the thread lead is obtained from the
expression, feedrate
× spindle speed. In feed–per–revolution mode, the
thread lead equals the feedrate.
If a tool length offset (G43, G44, or G49) is specified in the canned cycle,
the offset is applied at the time of positioning to point R.
Rigid tapping can be performed using FS10/11–format commands.
These commands are used according to the sequence (including data
transfer to and from the PMC), limitations, and other rigid tapping
conditions for the FS 0i.
Before the drilling axis can be changed, the canned cycle must be
canceled. If the drilling axis is changed in rigid mode,P/S alarm (No.
206) is issued.
Specifying a rotation speed exceeding the maximum speed for the gear
used causes P/S alarm (No. 200).
The S command, which is specified at rigid tapping, is cleared at
commanding Rigid Tapping Cancel and the condition is the same that S0
is commanded.
For an analog spindle control circuit:
Upon specifying a speed command requiring more than 4096 pulses, in
detection units, within 8 ms, a P/S alarm (No.202) is issued because the
result of such an operation is unpredictable.
For a serial spindle:
Upon specifying a speed command requiring more than 32767 pulses, in
detection units, within 8 ms, a P/S alarm (No.202) is issued because the
result of such an operation is unpredictable.
Specifying a value that exceeds the upper limit of cutting feedrate causes
P/S alarm (No. 011).
Metric input Inch input Remarks
G94 1 mm/min 0.01 inch/min Decimal point

G95 0.01 mm/rev 0.0001 inch/rev Decimal point
programming allowed
Specifying an S command or axis movement between M29 and G74
causes P/S alarm (No. 203).
Then, specifying M29 in the tapping cycle causes P/S alarm (No. 204).
Specify P in a block that performs drilling. If R is specified in a
non–drilling block, it ss not stored as modal data.
Do not specify a G code of the 01 group (G00 to G03 or G60 (when the
MDL bit (bit 0 of parameter 5431) is set to 1)) and G74 in a single block.
Otherwise, G74 will be canceled.
In the canned cycle mode, tool offsets are ignored.
