296 Teach-in mode
4.6 Thread and undercut cycles
Type of machining for technology database access: Finishing
All parameters that you enter will be accounted for—even if the
standard table prescribes other values. If the parameters I, K, W, R, P
and A are not defined, the CNC PILOT determines these parameters
from the cylinder diameter in the standard table (see “DIN 509 F –
undercut parameters” auf Seite 617).
Cycle run
1 Approach workpiece from starting point
 to the cylinder starting point X1, or
 for the thread chamfer
2 Machine thread chamfer, if defined
3 Finish cylinder up to beginning of undercut
4 Machine undercut
5 Finish to end point X2 on plane surface
6 Return
 Without return: the tool remains at end point on plane
surface
 With return: Retract and return diagonally back to starting point
MT M after T: M function that is executed after the tool call T.
MFS M at beginning: M function that is executed at the
beginning of the machining step.
MFE M at end: M function that is executed at the end of the
machining step.
WP Displays which workpiece spindle is used to process the
cycle (machine-dependent)
 Main drive
 Opposing spindle for rear-face machining
