8.2 Parameters
Thread cutting
Thread cutting – Approach and departure
Approach and departure are at rapid traverse (G0).
Thread cutting – Machining
Approach and departure
 Approach – external thread [ANGA]
 Approach – internal thread [ANGI]
 Departure – external thread [ABGA]
 Departure – internal thread [ABGI]
Approach/departure strategy:
 1: Move simultaneously in X and Z directions
 2: First X, then Z direction
 3: First Z, then X direction
 6: Coupled motion; X precedes Z direction
 7: Coupled motion; Z precedes X direction
Machining
Thread starting length [GAL]
Starting length before threading cut.
Thread run-out length [GUL]
Overrun length after threading cut.
GAL/GUL are automatically transferred to the thread
