Drilling Cycles

Chapter 26

26-8

Drilling cycles G83.1, G84.1, G86.1 and G81-G89 are modal, which
means they remain active until you program a G-code that cancels the

drilling cycle. Certain drilling cycles can, therefore, be repeated at

different positions without having to re-program all the parameters

associated with a given operation.

Similarly, any parameters specified in the block calling the drilling cycle

remain active until the cycle is cancelled, or until they are re-programmed

in a following block. L-words do not remain active and, instead, designate

the number of times the drilling cycle is repeated.

G00-G03, G33, G34 or G80 cancel drilling cycle mode.

Important: Start the tool rotating with appropriate programming before

the control executes a drilling cycle block.

CAUTION: On systems with more than one spindle, the

controlling spindle code determines which spindle (and its

related spindle modal M-codes) is active during drilling cycles.

All references to spindle activities (orient, reversal, etc.)

described in this chapter apply only to the controlling spindle.

See chapter 17.

The format for the G80 cancel or end fixed cycles is:

G80;

Programming a G80 cancels the currently active drilling cycle mode. G00,

G01, G02, G03, G33 or G34 also cancel any active drilling cycle.

If drilling cycles are canceled with a G80, program execution returns to the

mode which was in effect when the cycles were last turned on, for

example, G00 - G03 or G33, G34.
