The format for the G84 cycle is as follows:
G18;
G84X__I__Z__Q__L__F__E__P__D__;
Table 17.D summarizes the G84 cycle parameters. For a detailed
description of these parameters, see the text below and page 17-9.
Table 17.D
G84 Cycle Parameters
Parameter: Definition: Default Value: Possible Value:
Plane axis 1 1 plunge depth value must be programmed abs. or inc.
Plane axis 2 3 last plunge point none (plunge at start only) abs. or inc.
Plane axis 2 integrand 3 dither amount zero inc. only
Q 3 plunge shift zero inc. only
L 3 number of spark-out passes or revolutions zero zero to 999
F 2 plunge feedrate last feedrate programmed valid F word
E 3 dither feedrate plunge feedrate valid F word
P 3 for G84 2 for G84.1 dress program number from last cycle programmed valid program number
D 3 number of auto-dress executions zero zero to 999
1 must be programmed 2 must have been programmed in some previous block if omitted 3 optional
Figure 17.5 shows the axis motions that make up the G84 multi-pass face
grinding cycle. This figure assumes that the ZX plane (G18) is active.
