Operation Manual

HEIDENHAIN MANUALplus 620 269
4.6 Thread and undercut cycles
Recut (longitudinal) thread
Call the thread-cutting menu
Select thread cycle
Press the Recut soft key
 On: Internal thread
 Off: External thread
This optional cycle reworks a single-start thread. Since you have
already unclamped the workpiece, the MANUALplus needs to know
the exact position of the thread. Place the cutting tip of the tap drill in
the center of a groove and transfer the positions to the parameters
measured angles and measured position by pressing the Take over
position soft key. From these values the cycle then calculates the
angle of the spindle at the starting point.
This function is available only in manual operation.
