Calling a cycle with CYCL CALL
The CYCL CALL function calls the most recently defined fixed cycle
once. The starting point of the cycle is the position that was
programmed last before the CYCL CALL block.
To program the cycle call, press the CYCL CALL key
Press the CYCL CALL M soft key to enter a cycle call
If necessary, enter the miscellaneous function M (for
example M3 to switch the spindle on), or end the
dialog by pressing the END key
Calling a cycle with CYCL CALL PAT
The CYCL CALL PAT function calls the most recently defined fixed cycle
at all positions that you defined in a PATTERN DEF pattern definition
(see "PATTERN DEF pattern definition" on page 368) or in a point table
(see "Point tables" on page 381).
Calling a cycle with M99/89
The M99 function, which is active only in the block in which it is
programmed, calls the last defined fixed cycle once. You can program
M99
at the end of a positioning block. The TNC moves to this position
and then calls the last defined fixed cycle.
If the TNC is to run the cycle automatically after every positioning
block, program the first cycle call with M89.
To cancel the effect of M89, program:
M99
in the positioning block in which you move to the last starting
point, or
Use CYCL DEF to define a new fixed cycle
