2. PROGRAMMING
2-1 Basis for Programming

2-1-1 Program Reference Point and Coordinate Values
For a CNC lathe, coordinate axes X and Z are set on the machine and their intersecting
point is called a “program reference point”. The X axis assumes a spindle center line to
be a position of “XO”, and the Z axis assumes a workpiece finish end face on the tail stock
side to a position of “ZO”.
To move a tool, specify its moving position, adding signs “+” and “−” to both X and Z axes,
with this program reference point as a datum point.
•Position of the tool A ...

Since it is locates a plus 50 dia. on the X-axis and plus 35mm (1.4”) on the Z-axis,
X50.0 Z35.0 ..... (Omit the plus sign)
•Position of the tool B ...
Since it is locates a plus 80 dia. on the X-axis and minus 25mm (1.0”) on the Z-axis,
X80.0 Z−25.0
2-1
2-1-2 Regarding Machine Zero Point
Properly speaking, the machine zero point and reference point is a different position,
however, as for our NC lathe make the both points the same position.
Therefore, here in after the reference point calls as the machine zero point in this manual.
It is a position which is the machine proper and the machine zero point which is the basis
of program set the end of each axis.
This machine zero point utilizes an electrically identical point, a grid point, and stop a
servo motor at the certain point.
Turn on the power at the starting time in the morning, it can be entered a program
operation by execution of the zero return.

2-2 Details of F, S, T and M Functions
2-2-1 F Function (Feed Function)
G99 mode F ooo.ooo(Up to 6 digits in increment of 0.001)
mm/rev Specify a cutting “feed rate” per spindle revolution or a lead of the threading.
(Example) 0.3 mm/rev = F0.3 or F30
1.0 mm/rev = F1.0 or F100
1.5 P thread = F1.5 or F150
In case of thread cutting, it is possible to command down to 5 digits of decimals.
Fooo.ooooo(0.00001 unit; max. 8 digits)
Whether lead designation or thread number designation should be selected for the
address of E depends on parameter setting.
When 8th place from the right of the parameter No.2403 is 0 ..... Lead designation.
(Example) In case of 14 threads per inch
Feed rate = 25.4 ≒ 1.8142857

14 threads
≒ 1.81429mm/rev F1.81429
When 8th place from the right of the parameter No.2403 is 1 ..... (Thread number
designation)
(Example) E14.0
Max. feed rate 10,000mm/min.
A maximum feed rate depends on the spindle speed used.
Assuming the spindle speed to be N; 5000
N
(Example) When the spindle speed is 1,000 rpm, the maximum feed rate is;
5000 = 5.0 F = 5.0 mm/rev
1000
G98 mode Foooooo A decimal point cannot be used.

mm/min Feed rate per minute
Generally, you specify a feed rate per spindle revolution for in case of turning.
However, if specified in the G98 mode, a feed rate per minute is set.
(Example) 200 mm/min = F200
Notes) 1. Since the G99 mode is set when turning on the power, you do not have to specify it,
unless G98 is to be used.
2. A cutting feed in taper cutting or circular cutting is that of a tool advance direction
(tangent direction).
3. If a cutting feed in G98 mode (G01, G02, G03) is specified, the turret head moves even
if the spindle is not running.
4. When commanding G98 from G99 mode or G99 mode from G98, be sure to command
2-4
F .... as well.
In case of F command is missing in the block, F value is effective which is designated
just preceding block in G98, G99 mode respectively.
To be concrete, it becomes as follows:
Indicate “F” that becomes effective in that block with [ ].
(Feed per minute) (Feed per revolution)

2-2-2 S Function (Spindle Function)

Specify a spindle speed or surface speed (cutting speed) with S 4-digit numeral
(Soooo).
Command Description
G50Soooo Max. spindle speed limit
(Example) G50 S1800 : A maximum spindle speed is limited to 1,800 (mim−1)
G97Soooo Constant surface speed cancel
Specify a spindle revolution with Soooo .
(Example) G97 S1000 : A spindle speed per minute is set to 1,000 (mim−1)
G96Soooo Constant surface speed control
When performing constant surface speed control, specify a cutting speed “V”
(m/min) with an S 4-digit code (Soooo ).
2-5
(Example)G96 S150 : A spindle speed is controlled to 150
150 m/min cutting speed at the cutting point.
..... Refer to the left figure.
* Formula for calculating the spindle speed from the
surface speed
1000 × V
N=
π×D
V : Surface speed (m/min)

π : 3.14
D : Tool nose position (φ mm)
N : Spindle speed (mim−1)
1000 × 150
Spindle speed “N” at the position A = = 1193 (mim−1)
3.14 × 40φ
Spindle speed “N” at the position B = 1000 × 150 = 795 (mim−1)

3.14 × 60φ
Spindle speed “N” at the position C = 1000 × 150 = 682 (mim−1)

3.14 × 70φ
As mentioned above, an automatic change of the spindle speed relating to the work
diameter is called as the constant surface speed control.
Notes) 1. Considering a workpiece chucking condition, specify the maximum spindle speed limit
with S 4-digit code in a G50 block at the beginning of a program.
2. When roughing with G96, calculate maximum and minimum spindle speeds so that
cutting will be performed in a constant power range as much as possible.
3. When changing over from G96 to G97 and vice versa, specify not only a G code, but
also an S code.
4. When changed over from G96 to G97 and no S code is specified, the spindle is run with
the speed specified in the latest S code in G96 mode.
5. When changed over from G96 to G97 and no S code is specified, the spindle turns with
the previously used surface constant speed is S code had been specified in G96 mode.
Also, when no S code is specified in G96 mode, S results in 0.
6. The following interlocks are provided as the rotating conditions of spindle.
(1) The direction of the chuck inner clamp and outer clamp key shall be the same
direction as that of chuck clamping.
(2) Q-setter shall be stored.
(3) Rotating speed shall be command with G96 Sxxx.
(4) The lamp of advance or retract of center support shall be on. (Option)
(5) The door shall be closed.
2-6
In case of rotary tool, there are four additional interlocks as follows.
(1) The connection of C-axis shall be in the status of OFF (M40 command). (Option)
(2) The connection of rotating tool shall be in the status of OFF (M45 command).
(Option)
(3) Set up of the ACT shall be cancel condition. (Option)
(4) The safety door of the ATC magazine shall be closed. (Option)
2-2-3 T Function (Tool Function)

The tool used and its offset No. can be selected with a 4-digit number following “T”.
Too∆∆
Turret face selection Offset No.
Face 01 ~ maximum number of faces
1. Setting Coordinate of Tool-nose Position

As a general usage, it is not necessary to command of offset No. Only command of
calling of turret as shown below can set the tool-nose position.
Example) If the turret No. 3 is to be called, program as follows:
T0300
2. Setting Coordinate of Tool-nose Position for Arbitrary Offset No. When using an
arbitrary offset No., program as follows.
Setting is done with the tool mounting position (diameter, length) of the offset No. 13.
Example)

Note 1. Be sure to input the tool-nose point on the tool layout screen.
2. Input “9” to the tool-nose point for drilling end-milling tool. (When a rotating tool
is equipped.)
Caution When “Too∆∆” command is specified on the same line as the axis travel
command, the indexing of turret is made simultaneously with traveling and a
coordinate is set after completion of traveling.
Be careful not to command T function together with the travel command.
2-7
3. Compound Offset
When an adjustment is made on diametrical dimension of 50 and 70mm respectively at
the following workpiece, two or more offset can be applied on one tool.
Example 1)

4. Multi tool compensation
When set up tools 2 or more on the same face on the turret described below, give
plural compensation on a face and set up the coordinate for each tool respectively.
Command system of compound compensation, and furthermore, set up tools deem as

different one by setting data in nose radius and control point.
(Example) N100 T0100 A tool with turret face No.1 is indexed and setting-up
∼
is performed by the data of offset No.1.

T0131 A tool with turret face No.1 is indexed and setting-up
is performed by the data of offset No.31.
∼
Note 1) When a tool, which is not required tool point and tool nose R such as drill etc., is
applied to multi tool, set a tool point as 9. (Tool nose R may be set as zero.)
2) When set the Q setter, the cursor position of tool offset coincide with the tool No.
mounted on the turret face indexed at machining position at this moment.
Any No. can be selected by moving the cursor by cursor key.
Multi tool compensation and compound compensation is divided by data of tool

point and tool nose R as follows:
Tool nose R and tool point of offset No. on effect the compound compensation
and multi tool compensation.
1 Both tool nose R and tool point are zero → Compound compensation
2 Data of tool point from 1 to 9 and setting of tool nose R
→ Multi tool cutting
3 Tool point is zero and set a tool nose R → Alarm (No.182)

2-3-2 G50 Maximum Spindle Speed Setting
Using a command “G50 S ....... ;” , you can directly specify the upper limit value of a
spindle speed (min−1) with a 4-digit numerical value following an address S.
When a S beyond the upper limit has commanded after this command, it is clamped at
this upper limit.
Even in constant surface speed control (G96 mode), the spindle rotation speed for the
specified surface speed (m/min. or ft/min. ) will be clamped to this upper limit.
(Example) G50 S2000 ;
Fixes the maximum spindle speed to 2,000 min−1
Note: Depending on a workpiece loading state, specify the maximum spindle speed (G50
S××××) at the beginning of the program.
2-3-3 G00 Positioning

Specify this G code when feeding a tool by rapid traverse. This is used when approaching
the tool to the workpiece or when retreating it after cutting is completed.

4. From the point “c” to the point “b”
G00 X200.0
From the point “b” to the point “a” Z20.0
Note: When simultaneously positioning both the X and Z axes, the tool does not linearly move
from a current position to a specified position, because their rapid traverse rates differ
from each other. Therefore, you must be careful when there is an interfering substance
halfway a tool path.
2 - 36
After one of 2 axes (X and Z) has completed its
move, the other one moves to a specified point.
The tool does not move linearly as shown with a
dotted line in the left figure.

When moving the tool to the next cutting position, do so at a rapid traverse rate after retreating it
by about 2 to 3 mm from a cut surface.

(2) Chamfering, corner R command
When there is chamfering (45°chambering) or corner R (quarter circle) between 2
blocks which are parallel with the X or Z and cross with each other at a right angle,
specify as follows:
For chambering For corner R
(a) G01 X ... K ... F ... (c) G01 X ... R ... F ...
(b) G01 Z ... I ... F ... (d) G01 Z ... R ... F ...

Note: 1) When specifying a tool movement with G01 for chamfering or corner R, it must
be either one axis of X and Z.
In the next block, the other one axis of X and Z, which crosses the former axis
at a right angle, must be given.
2) The stop point by a single block operation is a point after chamfering or corner
R cutting.
3) Specify I, K and R values for chamfering and corner R smaller than a specified

Cutting feed rate

The cutting feed rate commanded by F code becomes the speed that a tool moves on
a circular arc.
Note: 1) When F code has not feed commanded in G02 and G03 blocks or before that,
an alarm will occur.
2) Exponent type acceleration/deceleration is engaged.
3) When radius of circular arc = 0 is commanded, an alarm will occur.
4) If the end point is not located on the circular arc, the tool will move on the
remainder in straight line after moving in circular, when an error of the end point
of circular interpolation is within the parameter setting value. And when it is out
of the parameter setting value, an alarm will occur.
5) When I, J, K and R are commanded in the same block, R has priority.

2-3-11 G22, G23 Stored Stroke Limit
This machine is provided the stored stroke limit, which can be set the entering prohibition
of tool in the movable area (Within the machine stroke) of the machine for safety
operation by whether automatic or manual operation, as standard feature.
This function is different from the mechanical stroke end and there are following three
kinds.
1. The first prohibited area
This is set the maximum stroke of the machine by the parameter and not changeable.
Points A and B are set by the distance from the machine reference point by the parameter
and the hatching area is prohibited entering always.
2. The 2nd, 3rd prohibited area

Set the second and third stroke limit at any places without restraint by commanding a
distance and direction from the machine reference point. The inside or the outside can be
selected in the second stroke limit. Only the inside becomes effective in the third stroke
limit.
2 - 47
(1) Selection of prohibited area
A prohibited area can be selected by the parameter No.1300 to close which side of in or
outside of a frame determined by the points C, D and E, F.
Usually, the inside becomes the prohibited area in the second area. In the third area,
always the inside is prohibited.
No.1300 - bit 0 In case of 0 Inside of stroke limit 2 is a prohibited area

(First bit from
right) In case of 1 Outside of stroke limit 2 is a prohibited area
(2) Setting of area by parameter and confirmation
Prohibit area No. Setting position Setting example

Second area 1322 X of point C −5.000
• Z of point C −310.000
• 0.000

1325 X of point F −490.000
• Z of point F −120.000
• 0.000
•
Note) Setting units 0.001mm. Decimal point input is not available.

Value X is a diametrical value.
2 - 48
(3) Setting of the second or third stroke limit by MDI or program
Example:
G22 X−170.0 Z−10.0 I−490.0 K−120.0 (Refer to the sketch on the previous page.)
Command of entering prohibition into the second stroke limit and the second or third stroke
limit is set.
Example:
G23; Entering is possible into the second area.
Note 1) When G23 has commanded, G22 should be commanded in the individual block
to make a setting area entering prohibition again.
2) When G22 X Z I K ; is commanded, the parameter changes automatically to
the commanded value.
3) The last commanded G22 and G23 is kept even if the power off.
4) If G22 has commanded at the time of power on, entering to the zero becomes
prohibition immediately after execution of manual reference point return.
5) If entering to the prohibited area manually, it can be escaped from the prohibited
area by moving the opposite direction.
The reset button should be pressed after an escape.
6) During automatic operation, if the end point of travel locates in the prohibited
area, it becomes an alarm before move and stop the automatic operation. It can
be released by the reset button.
If the middle of the way to the end point to travel is the prohibited area, it
becomes an alarm when entering into the prohibited area and stop the automatic
operation.
(4) Setting in other than program command

Refer to Operation Manual.
2 - 49
2-3-12 Stroke Limit Check Before Move
If the end point of the block to be executed the automatic operation locates in the
prohibited area, stop the axis travel and make an alarm. Execute a check regarding all
effective matters by the stroke limit 1, 2 and 3.
Interrupt a travel if the end point of executing

block locates in the prohibited area.
(1) If the alarm of stroke limit before move is issued, release the alarm by pressing the rest
button.
(2) The end point of executing block can be calculated by the “Machine coordinate” +
“Remaining amount of travel” at this time.
Note) If the travel time of one block is very short, some times becomes an alarm before
setting the remaining amount of travel.
(3) Precautions
(a) Concerning a traveling path of block, a check is not executed.
(b) Concerning an axis which is machine lock condition, a check is not executed.
(c) Checking of a block of G31 is not executed.
(d) Check the axis which has completed the reference point return only.
(e) If the end point locates very close to the prohibited area, it becomes an alarm
occasionally.
2 - 50
2-3-13 G27 Reference Point Return Check
The G27 command positions to the designated position by a program then check the
position whether it is the first reference point or not and it becomes alarm if it is not.
(1) Form of command
G27 X Z ..... ;
(2) Program example
G27 X100.0 Z−50.0 ;
Move to the X-axis 100.0 and Z-axis −50.0 then check the X and Z axes return to the
first reference point or not.
(3) Precautions
(a) An arriving position by G27 command include tool position offset, nose R
compensation and tool radius compensation etc.
(b) Check the axis which has commanded by G27 block only.
(c) The 2nd ~ 4th reference point return check can be done by commanding a P.
G27 P X Z ..... ;
(Designate it according to the 2nd ~ 4th reference point. )
(d) An axis which is the condition of machine lock on does not execute the reference
point return check.
(e) G27 command checks an imposition after positioning.
2 - 51
2-3-14 G28 Automatic Reference Point Return
With a command “G28 X (U)ooo. oo Z (W)ooo. oo“, the tool automatically returns to
the machine reference point after moving to the position (intermediate point) specified with
X (U), Z (W). G28 assumes the same rapid traverse rate as G00. After returning to the
machine reference point, the machine reference point lamp lights up.
Machine reference
point
N920 G00 X.....
N922 G28 X200.0 Z200.0

%
As shown in the left figure, the tool returns
to the machine reference point via the
inter-mediate point.
Note) Difference from “G28 U0 W0 ;”

Since U0 W0, which is incremental programming, means that a tool stroke is
0(zero), the current position becomes the intermediate point as it is, and the tool
returns to the machine reference point from that position.
2-3-15 G30 2nd Reference Point Return

(1) A commanded axis can be returned the 2nd reference point automatically.
The 2nd reference point can be set either setting by the parameter for the distance
from the machine zero point previously or process of the 2nd reference point setting.
Refer to the instruction manual for the process of the 2nd reference point setting.
Exactly same motion as the automatic zero return by G28 is executed except returning
to the 2nd reference point by the parameter setting.

If the 2nd reference point is used correctly, it makes the safest program.
Caution
However, when the turret head index position (2nd reference point) is altered due
to a process change or preparatory plan change, set the second reference point
again each time.
Note 1) Before specifying G30, perform automatic reference point return at least once by
manual reference point return operation or a G28 command after turning on the
power.
(2) The third, fourth reference point

G30 Pn X (U) ... Z (W) ...;
(Pn=P2, P3, P4)
Execute a positioning of the second, third or fourth reference point after positioning at
intermediate point commanding by the above command.
P2 : The second reference point
{ P3 : The third reference point

P4 : The fourth reference point
If Pn is omitted, it becomes the second reference point.
Be careful, if the coordinate command of an axis is omitted, the axis does not
Caution move.
(3) Position of each reference point

The position of each reference point is set previously by
P2 : No.1226~
the parameter
{ P3 : No.1227~

2-3-17 G54 Work Coordinate System Setting (Work Length)
Work length shall be set as the value following address Z by the command
G54 Z
Correct distance is displayed of the tool position from the machine origin by following
procedures.
1. When tool is indexed by T code in program (available by MDI as well).
〔 2. When rotate the turret by pushing the turret index button while manual mode.
3. When applied Q setter or Z setter (Option).

2-3-18 Canned Cycle
Using a canned cycle, machine functioning equivalent to 4 blocks of “cutting-in → cutting
(or threading) → retreat → return” in a regular program can be specified as 1 cycle in 1
block.
The tool starts from the point A (X65.0, Z2.0)
and returns to the point A via the points B, C
and D respectively.
If the canned cycle is used, the program will
be changed as follows:
Regular Program Program with Canned Cycle

(1) G00 X50.0;
(2) G01 Z−30.0 F;
(3) X65.0;
(4) G00 Z2.0; ｝ G90 X50.0 Z−30.0 F;
The machine works in the same manner as in the 4-

block program on the left.
Accordingly, when a large cutting allowance is required, or when the number of blocks is
many as in a threading program, the canned cycle is useful because it can simplify the
program. There are the following 3 kinds of canned cycles available:
1. G90 ....... OD/ID cutting cycle
2. G92 ....... Threading cycle
3. G94 ....... End face/side cutting cycle
1. G90 OD/ID cutting cycle

G90 enables OD/ID straight cutting or taper cutting.
The tool moves via a specified point from its start point, cuts the workpiece at a feed rate
specified with an F code and returns to the start point again.
2 - 57
G90 cycle patterns

1. Example of straight cutting

When machining a φ50 blank as
shown in the left figure, with its start
point at X55.0 and Z2.0 and a depth
of cut of 2.5 mm, the program is as
follows:
N101 T0100 M40

N102 G97 S695 M08
N103 G00 X55.0 Z10.0 M03
N104 G01 G96 Z2.0 F2.5 S120
N105 G90 X45.0 Z−25.0 F0.35—[1]
N106 X40.0 ———————[2]
N107 X35.0 ———————[3]
N108 G00 G97 X200.0 Z200.0 S695
N109 M01
Note 1) As G90 is modal, once it is specified, it can be neglected from the next block.
Accordingly, cycle operation is executed by only specifying the cutting depth of X-axis
from the next block on.
2) After completing the canned cycle, cancel G90 with another G code, such as G00
belonging to the same group.
3) For the T, S and M functions which serve as cutting conditions, be sure to specify
them in a block preceding the one where G90 is to be specified.
2 - 58
In the above-mentioned program, the tool returns to the same start point after completing
each cycle. At that time, a machining time is wasted because the same parts are
repeatedly machined in side cutting as shown in the figure below. Therefore, the
machining time can be saved by shifting the cycle start position per cycle as shown in the
program below, after completing each cycle.
N105 G90 X45.0 Z−25.0 F0.35 [1] Since the start position is shifted by G00
N106 G00 X47.0 after completing the canned cycle, it is
canceled each time.
N107 G90 X40.0 Z−25.0 [2]
Therefore, you must specify a G90
N108 G00 X42.0
command and coordinate values each time.

2. Example of taper cutting

When machining a φ60 blank as shown in the figure below, with the cycle start position at
X65.0 and Z2.0 and a depth of cut of 5 mm, the program is as follows:
50−40
First, obtain an amount of I. I= = 5 mm

The sign of I(“+” or “−”) is determined as a direction from point “a” to the point B.
Accordingly; I=−5.0

1. Example of straight cutting

When machining a φ75 blank as shown
in the left figure, with its cycle start
position at X85.0 and Z5.0 and a depth
of cut of 5 mm, the program is as
follows:
N101 T0100 M40

N108 G00 G97 X200.0 Z200.0 S150
N109 M01
2 - 62
Note 1) Since G94 is modal, specify it just once. You do not have to specify it again
thereafter. Accordingly, cycle operation is executed by only giving Z-axis depth of cut
from the next block on.
2) After completing the canned cycle, cancel G94 with another G code, such as G00,
belonging to the same group.
3) For the T, S and M functions which serve as cutting conditions, be sure to specify
them in a block preceding the one where G94 is to be specified.
In the above-mentioned program, the tool
returns to the same start point after
completing each cycle. At that time, a
machining time is wasted because the same
parts are repeatedly machined in OD cutting
as shown in the left figure.
Therefore, the machining time can be saved
by shifting the cycle start position per cycle
as shown in the program below.

A canned cycle with G90, G92 or G94 cannot simplify the program sufficiently. However, if you
use a multiple repetitive cycle, the program can be greatly reduced by specifying a finish
shape, such as enabling roughing and finishing.
As shown in the table below, 7 kinds of multiple repetitive cycles are available:
G code Name Remarks

G70 Finishing cycle
G71 OD roughing cycle
G72 End face roughing cycle Finishing enabled Tool nose radius
G73 Closed loop cutting cycle by G70 compensation enabled
G74 End face cutting-off cycle
G75 OD cutting-off cycle Tool nose radius compensation disabled
G76 Automatic threading cycle
1. The G codes above are all unmoral ones belonging to the * group.
2. Finish shape programs specified by G71, G72 and G73 are stored in the NC unit’s internal
memory. Its maximum capacity is 45 blocks which store a set of programs.
3. When chamfering or corner R is commanded, it is equivalent to the two blocks.
1. G71 ID/OD roughing cycle (Type I and TypeII) (Option)
If the Z-axis command (Z or W) is not placed at the first block of the finish shape, it
becomes type I or it becomes type II if it is command.
(1) Type I
As shown in the figure below, if a finish shape between A and B via A’ with a tape
command, the tool cuts away a section specified with the depth of cut ∆d, leaving the
finishing allowances ∆U/2 and ∆W.
• An escape after turning retract at 45°

direction.
• Retract amount e = 0.5mm
Designate it at the parameter No.5145.
2 - 66
First, the tool cuts in parallel to its Z axis with the depth of cut ∆d, and finally, it cuts in parallel to
the tape command.
Create the tape command as follows:
•G71P (ns) Q (nf) U± W± I± K± D F S ;
•Rough finishing cycle is omitted when the 4 bit = 1 of the parameter No.5102.
(ns) (or no specification)

N ........................................

....................................... A move command for the finish shape
F ————— “A + A’+ B” is specified in the
blocks beginning with the sequence
S —————
number “ns” and ending with that “nf”.
T —————
(nf)
Move command from A to B
T ........................................
P : First sequence No. (ns) of a group of finishing profile blocks

Q : Last sequence No. (nf) of a group of finishing profile blocks
U : X-directional finishing allowance and direction (∆U) ... Diameter designation (∆U/2 for
radius designation)
W : Z-directional finishing allowance and direction (∆W)
D : Depth of cut (∆d). Specify with no sign.
I : X directional rough finishing allowance and direction (∆I).. radius value
K : Z directional rough finishing allowance and direction (∆K).
F, S : F and S function in any block within sequence No. P and Q in the cycle is ignored and
those in the block of G71 or designated before G71 are effective. Also, in case of
constant surface speed control, G96 or G97 during move command between A and B is
ignored and those in the block of G71 or designated before G71 are effective.
2 - 67
The following 4 patterns are likely as to a profile to be cut with G71.
In any case, the workpiece is cut by tool movements in parallel with the Z axis of the tool.
Signs of ∆U and ∆W are as follows:
The nose R compensation is not engaged in the type I of G71.
• Between A and A’, a move command is given by the block with the sequence number “ns”.
Z-axis command cannot be included.
• Between A’ and B, cutting must assume either monotonous incremental/decremental pattern
in both X and Z directions.
• When a command between A and A’ is of G00 mode, cutting -in along A to A’ is also
performed in the G00 mode.
• When a command between A and A’ is of G01 mode, cutting -in along A to A’ is also
performed in the G01 mode.
• The coordinate value of X-axis of point A and B should be same.
Execution of rough finishing cycle

At the last of this program, cut along
with the shape leaving a finishing
allowance, however, it can be omitted an
execution by setting of 1 at the fourth bit
of parameter No.5102 4BIT (NRC).
Also, even if the above case, execute
rough cutting leaving a cutting amount
designated by I and K and finally cut
leaving a finishing allowance along with
the shape by the command of I and K in
the same block with G71. In this case,
rough finishing cycle is executed after
returning to the start point of cycle once.
2 - 68
(2) Type II
Type II differs from type I in the following points.
(i) The shape is not necessary to be simple increase in X direction and it may have as many
pockets as possible.
The first block of finishing shape requires movement of Z-axis.
However, Z direction must be simple change.

The following shape cannot be cut.
(ii) The cutting at the beginning may not be vertical and the shape does not matter as long as
Z-axis direction is simple change.
(iii) The release after turning is performed on straight line after turning along the shape. (e)
Parameter 5145
Clearance e after cutting up is set to e = 0.5mm
2 - 69
(iv) The cutting path becomes as the following example.
Between A and A’ is commanded in the block with sequence No. (ns) and should be
included the Z-axis command.
Even if no movement on Z-axis, command W0.
When moving amount of Z-axis is zero between A and A’, cutting along with A and A’
becomes the same cutting method with finish shape (G00 or G01).
If Z-axis motion is included between A and A’, indeed is done by G01.
• Cutting after one pocket is done, it becomes as follows.

(Parameter No.5146)
(a) Coexistence of nose R compensation

This cycle can be executed with nose R compensation. In this case, a finish shape at the
start point of cycle is cancel condition of compensation and each cutting motion is done by
commanded finish shape program with nose R compensation.
Finished shape program without

tool nose radius compensation.
Tool center path with tool nose radius
compensation.
2 - 70
(b) Execution of rough cutting finishing cycle
At the last part of this cycle, cutting is performed along the shape, leaving the finishing
allowance.
By commanding I and K in the same block as G71, rough cutting is done, leaving the
allowance specified in I and K, and finally cutting along the shape is performed, leaving the
finishing allowance. In this case, rough cutting finishing cycle is executed after returning to
the cycle start point once.
2. G72 End face rough cutting cycle (Type I and Type II) (Option)
•G72P (ns) Q (nf) U± W± I± K± D F S ;
P : First sequence No. (ns) of the finishing pattern block

Q : The last sequence No. (nf) of the finishing pattern block
U : Finishing allowance in the X direction (∆u)
W : Finishing allowance in the Z direction (∆w)
I : Cutting allowance in the X direction for the rough cutting and finishing cycle (∆i)
K : Cutting allowance in the Z direction for the rough cutting and finishing cycle (∆k)
D : Cutting depth (∆d) ..... To be commanded without symbol
e : Release amount (parameter No.6213)
• F, S and T commands commanded between (ns) and (nf) are ignored and the block of
G72 or the command commanded before that block is effective.
Cutting is executed by parallel motion with X axis as shown in the sketch.
There are type I and type II same as OD rough cutting cycle.
• An escape after turning retract at

45° direction.
• Retract amount e = 0.5mm
Designate it at the parameter
No.5145.
2 - 71
(1) Type I
The following 4 patterns are likely as to a profile to be cut with G72. In any case, the
workpiece is cut by repeating tool movements in parallel with the X axis of the tool. Signs
of ∆U and ∆W are as follows:
• Tool movement between A and A’ is commanded by the block of sequence No. “ns”. An X-
axis command cannot be contained.
• Tool movement between A’ and -B must be a monotonous incremental or decremental
pattern as to both X and Z axes.
• Whether a cutting mode along A to A’ is G00 or G01 depends on a command between A

and A’.
(2) Type II
If command X and Z axes in the first block (In brief, the heading block of finish shape
program) of repetitive section, the tool moves parallel to Z axis then along finish shape and
retract parallel to X axis by retract amount (e=0.5mm) then shift to next turning.
Outline of tape command is the same as type I except the command of X and Z axes are
existed in the first block of repetitive section.
(a) Cutting shape
In case of type II, finish shape is not required simple change and regardless of the number
of cavity section (Pocket).
However, must be kept simple change in X direction.
(b) Heading block of finish shape program
The first indeed section, in short, move command of heading block of finish shape program
should be G00 or G01 and simple change on X axis direction.
The indeed section after that, regardless of any shape if simple change is kept in X
direction.
Note 1) The coordinate value of Z-axis of point A and B should be the same.
2) Execution of rough finishing cycle
Cut along the final shape of this cycle leaving finishing shape. Rough cut leaving
allowance designated by I and K by commanding I and K in the same block of G72,
then cut along the final shape leaving the finishing allowance.
In this case, semi-finishing cycle is executed after returning start point each time.
2 - 72
3. G73 Closed loop cutting cycle (Option)
This G code can repeat a fixed cutting pattern, shifting a tool position little by little. With this
cycle used, you can efficiently cut a workpiece whose material shape has been made in
pre-machining such as forging or casting.
A section from A’ to B is divided

into “d−1”.
Pattern Specified by Tape

Point A →Point C →point D →Point E ....... →point N
Create a tape command as follows:
•G73P (ns) Q (nf) I± K± U± W± D F S ;
(ns)
N.......................

........................
(nf)
N....................... ｝ Commanded by the blocks of sequence No.

: Sequence No. (ns) of the first block of a group of finishing profile blocks
Q : Sequence No. (nf) of the last block of a group of finishing profile blocks
I : X directional all roughing allowance (∆i) ..... Radius designation
K : Z directional all roughing allowance (∆k)
U : X directional finishing allowance (∆U) ..... Diameter designation
W : Z-directional finishing allowance (∆W)
D : Number of divisions (d) ..... Equal to roughing times. (A decimal point is not available.)
2 - 73
F : Even if the F function is contained in any block between P and Q, it is ignored and the
F function which is designated in the G73 block or previous block becomes effective.
Since there are four patterns for cutting shape, at the time to prepare a program for a
machining set a center of nose R i.e. ∆U, ∆W, ∆i, and ∆K to start point, a nose R
compensation is add on the ∆U and ∆W same as G71, if cutting is made by G73 with
nose R compensation.
4. G70 Finishing cycle

When rough cutting is performed with G71, G72 or G73, the following command allows
finish cutting:
N G70 P (ns) Q (nf) ;
P: Sequence No. (ns) of the first block of a group of finishing profile blocks
Q: Sequence No. (nf) of the last block of a group of finishing profile blocks
Note) • The F and T functions specified in G71, G72 and G73 blocks are ignored.
However, those specified between sequence No. “ns” and “nf” become valid.
• Be sure to execute multiple repetitive cycles (G70~G73) with memory operation.
• The P and Q blocks specified with G70 are searched for from the beginning of the
memory, and a command between the P and Q blocks found first is executed.
Therefore, see to it that the same sequence No. is not repeated in the memory.
• When roughing is executed by G71, G72 and G73, up to 3 pcs. of the memory
address of P and Q blocks can be stored.
Eventually, when executing G70, the blocks specified by P and Q can be
immediately searched without searching from the beginning of the memory for P
and Q blocks. Further, the finishing cycles of G70 can be performed together after
several roughing cycles of G71, G72 and G73 are executed.
In this case, the roughing cycles after 4th becomes longer the cycle time of
because P and Q blocks are searched by searching the memory.

2 - 74
• When the cycle is completed, the tool returns to a start point at a rapid traverse
rate. For NC command data, a block next to the G70 cycle is read.
• A subprogram cannot be called between the sequence No. “ns” and “nf” used for
G70~G73.
• The memory addresses stored by the roughing cycle of G71~G73 are erased
after executing G70. Moreover, all the memory addresses stored by reset are
erased.
• If the reset button is pressed after the G71~G73 cycles were executed, the finish
cycle of G70 is disabled to perform.

Precautions for Multiple Repetitive Cycles(G70-G76)

(1) In the blocks where multiple repetitive cycles are to be specified, you must correctly specify
necessary parameters, such as P, Q, X, Z, U, W, I, K, D and A, block by block.
(2) In the G71, G72 and G73 blocks with the sequence number specified with P, you must
specify G00 or G01 of the group 01 without fail.
(3) It is not allowed to give a G70-G76 command by MDI.
(4) You cannot specify an M98/M99 command in the block where G70, G71, G72 or G73 was
specified, and between the blocks of the sequence numbers specified with P and Q of G70,
G71, G72, or G73.
(5) G codes which can be specified in the blocks excluding the sequence numbers specified
with P and Q of G70, G71, G72 and G73 are G00, G01, G02, G03, G04, G09, G61, G64,
G96, G97, G98, G99 and G196.
(6) Although you can make manual operation intervene in the multiple repetitive cycle (G70-
G76) halfway its execution by suspending it, when resuming the multiple repetitive cycle, be
sure to return the machine to the position where manual operation intervened.
If you resume the multiple repetitive cycle without returning the machine, a machine stroke
by manual operation is not added to an absolute value even if the manual absolute switch is
turned on, and thereafter, the machine functions with a shift of the stroke by manual
operation.
(7) When executing G70, G71, G72 or G73, the sequence number-for a G70 block and those
specified with P and Q should not be the same as those in the memory.
(8) In a G71 command, the X coordinate value of the start point must be equal to that of the
end point of a finish shape.
(9) In a G72 command, the Z coordinate value of the start point must be equal to that of the
end point of a finish shape.
(10) Do not command the program which contains chambering of rounding at the end of last
moving command of finishing pattern block group with P and Q of G70, G71, G72, G73.

Limitation of spindle speed

The following limitation must be
observed in threading by G32/G92/
G76.
5000 P : Lead or
P≦

N≦ 5000 N: Spindle
P speed(min−1)
(Example)
When a thread pitch is 3 mm, a
spindle speed is; (min−1)
N ≦ 5000 = 5000 = 1666 (min−1)

P 3
Therefore, when cutting threads with

a pitch of 3mm, use a spindle speed
of 1666 rpm or less.
Note) The above-mentioned limitation
does not apply to an oil groove,
etc. which do not require an
accurate lead.

1. Cutting the single thread screw
For a single thread screw, cut at a
threading feed rate of P mm/rev from
an arbitrary position by δ1 or more
away from the end face of a thread
part.
2. Cutting the multiple thread screw

Cut the first thread of a double thread
screw at a threading feed rate of L
mm/rev from an arbitrary position by
δ1 or more away from the end face of
a thread part.
Cut the second thread of the double

thread screw at a threading feed rate
of L mm/rev from a position by P mm
away from the cutting start position of
the first thread. This also applies to
an n-thread screw.

<Incomplete thread>
When cutting the thread from the point A to the

point B, it causes shorter leads(pitches) of δ1
and δ2 at the cutting start point A due to
acceleration and at the cutting end point B due
to deceleration, respectively.
Therefore, when obtaining an effective thread
length “1”, a threading length of “1+δ1+δ2” is
required.
<How to determine δ1>

Obtain δ1 from the spindle speed and thread lead (pitch) used for threading, using the following
formula:
δ1 (mm) = 0.0015×R(min−1)×L(mm)
Example) When cutting a JIS Class-1 thread with a pitch of 1.5 at a spindle speed of 800 rpm;
δ1 (mm) = 0.0015×800×1.5 =1.8(mm)
<How to determine δ2>

Obtain δ2 from the spindle speed and thread lead (pitch) used for threading, using the following
formula:
δ2 (mm)=0.00042×R(min−1)×L(mm)
Example) When cutting a JIS Class-1 thread with a pitch of 1.5 at a spindle speed of 800min−1
δ2 (mm)=0.00042×800×1.5 =0.504(mm)
Note) As mentioned above, δ1 and δ2 values are determined by the spindle speed and thread
lead. Accordingly, when cutting one screw, the spindle speed must not be changed to
the last.
(A threading section would be shifted.)

Thread Cutting Method
(1) The following shows formulas used for
calculating reference thread shapes for
metric coarse/fine and unified coarse/fine
threads:
<Unified coarse and fine threads>
P = 25.4/n
H = 0.866025/n × 25.4
H1 = 0.541266/n × 25.4
<Metric coarse and fine threads> d = (d) × 25.4
H = 0.866025P d1 = D1 = (d−1.082532/n) × 25.4
H1 = 0.541266P n : No. of threads per 25.4mm
d1 = D1 = d−2 × H1 = d − 1.082532P (d) : Nominal size for thread
Number of cutting times by pitch in threading

The number of cutting times is calculated
as follows:
NE = K × P + 2.5 (P ≠ 0)
= 3.3P + 2.5
Note) After calculating NE, raise its decimal
places to a unit.
NE : No. of cutting times
K : Constant based on various
conditions (assumed to be 3.3
in this case)
P : Thread pitch to be cut (mm)

You must determine a depth of cut, depending on the nose R of a tip used. As shown in the

Thread chamfering
Automatic thread chambering is enabled in G92 and G76 threading cycles.

1. M functions for chambering selection
M23 ..... chambering ON (chamfering performed)
M24 ..... chambering OFF
Details of thread chamfering Details of thread chamfering
A range of chambering value r of thread cutting is 0~12.7L (L is a lead of thread) and any valve
of 0.1L increment can be selected by parameter No.5111. Normally, it has been set to
1.0 L .
Thread chamfering angle can be selected by parameter No.5112.
Normally, it is set at 45°.
Note 1) When turning on the power, M24 is set.
It chamfering is required, specify M23 in the block prior to the one which starts
threading.
2) Setting of chambering width is set at parameter No. 5111.
Setting of chamfering angle is set at parameter No. 5112.
3) The starting point of thread cutting must be designated larger than the end point (B’)
of chamfering at external thread, or smaller than the end point of chamfering at
internal thread, otherwise NC unit issues alarm.
4) The command M23 should be placed before thread cutting command.

1. G32 Threading
The tool cuts a thread at a feed rate (pitch or lead) specified with F or E as far as a position
of X... Z... in the block where G32 was specified.
G32 does not allow cycle operation. Therefore, blocks before and after threading require
programs for cutting retreat and return.
• Program cutting retreat and return with G00 or G01.

2. G32 Tapping
When a tap feed rate (pitch, lead) is specified with G01, if the FEEDRATE OVERRIDE
switch on the operation panel is not set to 100%, the feed rate (pitch, lead) specified in the
program cannot be obtained because of its change.
To avoid this, if you specify tapping with G32, machining will be performed at the same feed
rate as specified in the program for safe operation, ignoring a feed rate override.
Program Example:
N601 T0600
N602 G97 S255 M08
N603 G00 X0 Z20.0 M03
N604 G01 Z6.0 F5.0

N607 G32 Z10.0 M04

N609 G00 X200.0 Z200.0 M05
N610 M01
• N605 G32 Z−35.0 F1.5 M05
The above-mentioned program stops the spindle (M05) when its Z axis is at a position of
−35.0 mm. However, when a spindle speed is high, it takes some time for the spindle to
stop.
• N607 G32 Z10.0 M04
The spindle runs in the reverse direction, and then, the Z axis moves to a position of +10
mm. To retreat the tap, the safer, the bigger a command value for the Z-axis position is.
• When tapping, use a special purpose taper.
2 - 94
3. G92 Threading Cycle
From a threading start point, four actions of cutting-in, threading, retreat and return to the
start point can be specified in one block as one cycle.
(1) Straight thread (2) Taper thread
• An incomplete thread part R : Rapid traverse

is included within a Z- F : Threading
axis moving range.

• The above-mentioned program example executes chambering (automatic thread

chambering) as shown in Fig. a above.
• When chambering is not required as shown in Fig. b above, delete blocks marked with “*”
(N904 and N913).
• Since G92 is modal, you can omit it from the next block on, if once specified. In the above-
mentioned program, therefore, specify an X-axis cutting diameter dimension after N906 to
execute a threading cycle until N912.
• After completing a canned cycle (G92), be sure to cancel it with G00.

Note)
1. A lead becomes inaccurate with a constant surface speed applied.
Be sure to cut a thread with G97.
2. A cutting feed rate override is always fixed at 100%.
3. If & G92 threading cycle is performed in the single block mode, the tool will return to its
start point and stop there after completing one cycle.
4. Machine operation cannot be suspended during threading. It stops after executing the
first non-threading cycle following the threading mode.
5. A taper thread lead is specified with a length in the longitudinal direction.
[Example] G32 X Z F4.0
When θ ≧ 45°, a load of Z-axis direction cut by 4mm.

When θ ＜ 45°, a load of X-axis direction cut by 4mm.
Therefore, when θ=30°, a lead of Z-axis direction becomes 4×tan 30° ≒ 2.31mm.
6. Tool nose radius compensation is not allowed in threading.

7. The lengths δ1 and δ2 of an incomplete thread part are determined by the spindle speed
and lead as mentioned above. Therefore, when cutting one screw, the spindle speed
must be kept constant to the last.
(A thread section would be shifted.)
2 - 101
4. G76 Thread cutting cycle
A thread cycle shown in the figure below is performed by the following command:
G76 X (u) ± Z (w) ± I± K D (H) F A P Q ;

I : When the radius of the thread portion is even, the value of “I” = 0, then straight
thread is cut. (∆i)
K : Height of thread (The distance in X direction is designated by the value of radius in

D : The depth of 1st cut (To be designated by the value of the radius in the command.)
(∆d)
H : No. of cutting times
F : Lead of thread
A : Angle of tool tip (no decimal point for crest angle).... Any angle within the range of 0°~120°,
with 1°increment, can be selected. If the value omitted, the angle is regarded as 0°.

0.1L~12.7L, with 0.1L increment. (The standard setting value is 1.0L.)
The value of thread finish angle can also be selected within the range of 1°~89°, with 1°
increment. Usually, thread finish is performed at 45°. In the thread cutting cycle illustrated
above, the command by F code is applicable between C and P only, other sections being
performed by rapid traverse. In the case of the illustrated cycle, the sign of the incremental
amount is as follows.
U,W : Negative (decided by the direction of the path C→P)

2-3-21 Continuous Thread Cutting
Continuous thread cutting in which thread cutting blocks are continuously commanded is
available.
As it is controlled so that synchronism with the spindle will be shifted minimumly at a joint of
blocks, it is possible to cut a special thread whose lead or shape changes halfway machining.
Even when repeatedly threading the save position, changing each depth of cut, it is properly
machined without breaking threads.
2-3-22 G34 Variable Lead Thread Cutting (Option)

A variable lead thread cutting can be done by commanding of increase or decrease amount
per revolution of the thread.
(1) Form of command

G34 α β F K ;
α, β : Any axis
F : A lead at starting time of thread cutting of longitudinal direction.
K : Increase amount per revolution (When it is negative, it is decrease amount)
Command range of K is as follows:
Metric command : ±0.001 ~ ±99999.999 (mm/rev)
Inch command : ±0.0001 ~ ±9999.9999 (inch/rev)
Note) Command unit of K is decided by parameter No.1007.
(2) Program example

Straight thread cutting with variable lead
(Lead of starting time of thread cutting : 2.0mm, Increase amount per revolution : 0.3mm)
G34 W−10. F2.0 K0.3 ;
Note 1) If K is omitted in the command of G34, it becomes even lead thread cutting of
command of G32.
2 - 106
2-3-23 Multi-thread Cutting (Option)
Cutting of multiple thread is performed by synchronous feed of starting pulse from the spindle
plus generator and start the other thread from the spindle rotate by designated degree after
starting pulse.
Command
G32 X(U) .... Z(W) .... F .... Q .... ;
G92 X(U) .... Z(W) .... I .... Q .... F ....
By the command above mentioned, thread cutting is performed up to X(U), Z(W) by lead F
from rotating the spindle designated angle by Q from starting pulse of the spindle pulse
generator.
The address Q commanded by multi-thread cutting is as follows:
Least increment 1°
Commanding range 0 ≦ Q ≦ 360°

Don’t enter a decimal point in Q command.
Note 1) Unit of shifted angle can be chosen by parameter setting. 1° or 0.001°.
But when 0.001° chosen, actual resolving power is 0.088°.
2) When macro parameter is used in Q, choose 0.001° as unit of Q.
Number of thread of multi-thread and command

It is a principle that the cutting start point on the circumference becomes the point that the
circumference (360°) is equally divided by the number of thread.

2-3-24 G150, G151, G152 Groove Width Compensation
Groove width compensation is changing the tool point by shifting the coordinate system to the
amount of tool width through reading the data of tool width and tool point in the tool layout
screen by command of G151.
(Shift to the amount of tool width x 2 for end surface.)
G150 Groove compensation, OFF
G151 Groove compensation for end surface, ON
G152 Groove compensation for OD/ID, ON
Compensating amount of tool width to be set at H data in the tool compensation screen.
In case of using grooving tool on T03 with tool width 2.0mm.
If groove width compensation (G151, G152) is commanded, tool point will be shifted as
follows.
Tool width compensation is canceled by G150 or T command.
Refer to “3. Tool nose R compensation automatic calculating function” about tool nose point.
2 - 108
(Example 1) In case of 0D grooving
tool (tool nose point 3)
Tool width 6.0
• The coordinate system of the

Z-axis is shifted by the tool
width amount.
• The tool nose point is shifted
internally from 3 to 4.
(Example 2) In case of end grooving

tool (tool nose point 2)
Tool width 5.0
2 - 109
• The coordinate system of the
X-axis is shifted by tool width
×2.
• The tool nose point is shifted
internally from 2 to 3.
Note 1) Except when the tip point is at 1~4, alarm is produced.

2) With G151/G152 are continuously commanded in a program, the current correction is
canceled and a new one is applied.
3) With a spindle shift command given simultaneously with G150~G150, an alarm is
produced.
4) Correction is canceled on resetting while in correction, where, however, no change
takes place in the coordinate axes.

3. AUTOMATIC CALCULATING FUNCTION OF TOOL NOSE
RADIUS COMPENSATION
3-1 Outline
Normally, a tool nose is programmed as one point. However, an actual tool has nose R.
Although it can be ignored when cutting in parallel to axes, such as an end face, outer
diameter and inner diameter, when chambering or cutting a slope and circular arc, the
workpiece tends to be cut insufficiently or excessively due to this nose R.
Tool nose radius compensation automatic calculating function makes operation processing
done inside the NC unit, automatically controls the tool nose and prevents insufficient and
excessive cutting.
When tool nose radius compensation is under way, the following 3 states exist:
State Tool route

Compensation cancel state The tool moves on a programmed route.
Compensation to left The tool moves on the left side of a programmed route
advance direction.
Compensation to right The tool moves on the right side of a programmed route
advance direction.
3-1
3-2 Preparation to Execute the Automatic Calculating Function of Tool
Nose Radius Compensation
The following setting is required to do a nose R compensation.
These are set in the tool offset screen.
1. Tool tip point (refer to the lower sketch) ... Input at the T of tool offset screen.
2. Size of nose R ...... Input at the R of tool offset screen.
Input of a tool tip point is done by inputting of designated address of tool as lower sketch.
Tool tip point

A programmed point in nose R is
called like this.
A program or method of nose R
compensation become completely
different depend on the setting
method.
3-2
3-3 Three Conditions of Nose Radius Compensation
When performing tool nose radius compensation, its program starts from a tool nose radius
compensation cancel state and proceeds to a tool nose radius compensation state via a start-
up state, and then, it returns to the initial compensation cancel state.
These are divided into three states and each block is called as follows:
1. Start-up block .... Block changing over from rapid traverse to cutting feed (G00 → G01)
2. Tool nose radius compensation block .... Continuous block for cutting feed (G01•G02•G03
↔ G01•G02•G03)
3. Compensation cancel block .... Block changing over from cutting feed to rapid traverse (G01
→ G00)
3-3
3-3-1 Tool Nose Radius Compensation Block (During Cutting)
A tool nose radius compensating method during cutting is determined by the tool nose
point and a tool nose moving direction. A list is given below.
•Compensating direction by tool nose point and tool nose moving direction
○ : Follows the compensating direction in a preceding block (because the

compensating direction cannot be determined).
△ : Does not compensate the tool nose radius (the tool nose moves as
programmed).

“During cutting” means to be in the G01/G02 G03 mode.
a) When a tangent angle is 180°or less (inner corner), an intersecting point is operated
and the tool nose center moves to that intersecting point.
3-4
b) When the tangent angle is 180°, the tool nose center comes on the normal of a
command point.
c) Do not command a wedge shape with an obtuse angle
In case of the path A → B → C is commanded by G01, a tool tip does not move further
than condition [3] even a command of point B.
In case of simultaneous two axis moving on cutting feed, tool nose does not reach to the
commanded point.
3-5
3-3-2 Start-up Block and Compensation Cancel Block (Approach/Retreat)
Concretely, the start-up block and compensation cancel block refer to blocks changing
over from G00 to G01 (approach) and G01 to G00 (retreat).
How to determine the compensating direction in approaching/retreating
X
[1] i) When a specified stroke is ｜―｜＞｜ Z ｜ , create a virtual line parallel to the Z
2
axis.
X
( ｜―｜＞｜ Z ｜ means the case when a moving axis direction makes an angle
2
larger
than 45° with the Z axis.)
X
ii) When a specified stroke is ｜―｜≦｜ Z ｜ , create a virtual line parallel to the X
2
axis.
X
( ｜―｜≦｜ Z ｜ means the case when a moving axis direction makes an angle of
2
45° or less with the Z axis.)
[2] Viewing the compensating direction of the moving axis, determine either “+” or “−”
(determination of a virtual line direction).
[3] Determine the compensating direction (right or left) to the virtual line.
[4] Calculate the intersecting point.
Note) When you cannot determine the compensating direction to the virtual line in [3]
(when the tool nose point is 5 through 8), select the same compensating direction
as in [2]．
Example 1) For the tool nose point 3
X
[1] Since ｜―｜＜｜
2 Z ｜ , create the virtual line parallel to the X axis.
3-6
[2] Determine a virtual line direction in the same direction as the compensating direction of
the moving axis (+X side because the compensating direction is to the right).
[3] Determine the compensating direction of the virtual line, and then, the intersecting
point.
X
[1] Since ｜―｜＜｜
2 Z ｜ , create the virtual line parallel to the X axis.
[2] Determine a virtual line direction to the -X side, because the compensating direction of
the moving axis is to the right.
3-7
*[3] Since the compensating direction of the virtual line cannot be determined, assume it in
the same direction as the compensating direction of the moving axis.
Example 3) A. For the tool nose point 3
B. For the tool nose point 8
C. For the tool nose point 3 in grooving (when returning only a single axis)
3-8
D. For the tool nose point in approaching to an arc and retreating
When commanding either of the following modes in the status of compensation currently
the compensation is canceled.
[1] Axial travel is performed in the plane by G00.
[2] Coordinate system setting by T command.
3-9
3-4 Caution Point of Approach to Workpiece
In the figure above, when the tool approach P1 by G00 then P2 by federate, tool point may
over cut against command point because tool nose R compensation is executed at G01
block.
In addition, after cutting feed to P3, tool nose R compensation is turned off in G00 block, the
uncut part may occur.
Therefore, it is necessary to take care not of have this type of shape by checking the
program point for approach and escape.
As to countermeasures, set program points to points A and B in the figure.
3 - 10
3-5 Tool Nose Radius Compensation to Direct Designation G Code
(G141, G142)
In indenting, there is no particular problem for finishing. In roughing, however, specify a

compensation direction with the following G codes:
G141 Tool nose radius compensation direction to left
G142 Tool nose radius compensation direction to right
Effective designated one block only.
Program
Example 1 Example 2
[1] G00 X_ Z_ [1] G00 X_ Z_
[2] G01 X_ F••• [2] G142 G01 X_ F • • •

[5] X_ Z_ [5] X_ Z_
[6] X_ [6] X_
[7] G00 X_ Z_ [7] G00 X_ Z_
3 - 11
In Example 1, the command [2] moves the tool in a direction of “↓”, the compensation
direction is specified to the left, assuming this as end facing. For the command [3], as the
compensation direction follows the previous block because this command moves the tool in a
direction of “↓”, excessive cutting is caused. To prevent this in indenting, specify G142
(compensation to right) as shown in Example 2 to specify the compensation direction to the
right.
This solution also applies to end face indenting. (Example 3)
Example 3)

Overall Precautions
1. An error will result if you specify a tool move inside an arc smaller than a tool nose radius
or a groove width up to 2 times or less of the tool nose radius while executing automatic
tool nose R compensation.
2. Tool nose R compensation is not performed by data input operation.
It is available only by a program command.
3. During tool nose R compensation, if you continuously specify 3 or more blocks which do
not have any move commands, compensation will be temporarily canceled.
4. In case of axis move command and T code is placed in the same block during tool nose R
compensation, canceled the previous coordinate system after completion of movement
then perform new coordinate system setting.
5. In the start-up block, you cannot specify a moving direction for which the compensation
direction cannot be determined. If specified, excessive or insufficient cutting may be
caused.

5-1 How to Calculate the Tool Nose Radius Compensation Amount

Without Using the Tool Nose Radius Compensation Function
At the normal program, since it becomes a program which is a program point coincide a point
on the drawing if nose R compensation function is used, preparation time of program is
shortened, however, in this section explain about a method without calculation function of
nose R compensation, i.e. direct command of tool nose point.
1. Tool nose radius compensation amount

A tool nose has roundness called nose R. When cutting an outer diameter, inner diameter or
end face in parallel with an axis, it can be cut as per the drawing, even if the tool nose is
programmed as one point (tool nose point).
It can be cut according to the drawing even program by tool nose point.
However, a tool position to be cut is differ and become “Left behind or over cut” since a tool
position is different by a tool nose point program when chamfering, tapering or circular cutting.
To avoid this left behind cutting, according to an angle of chamfer and taper or size of nose R
of tool a command which is shifted a tool nose at the X and Z direction with finding a nose R
compensation amount (fx, fz in lower sketch) by manual calculation.
5-1
2. Calculating procedure of tool nose position
1. Calculate the coordinate values of the intersecting points of a straight line and those of the
center of a circular are. (in the above-mentioned figure, coordinate values of the points A,
B and C)
2. Calculate the center coordinate values of the nose R to each intersecting point or contact
point, and a radius value (I, K) in circular cutting. (in the below-mentioned figure,
coordinate values of the points O1, O2 and O3 and a distance between the points O1 and C)
3. Transfer the center coordinate values of each nose R obtained in the step 2 to the
coordinate values of the program point. (in the above-mentioned figure, coordinate values
of the points P1, P2 and P3)
5-2
3. How to obtain tool nose radius compensation amount in chamfering and taper cutting
To prevent insufficient cutting, calculate the tool nose radius compensation amount (fx, fz) out
of an angle and a nose R size, and shift the tool by the amount when programming.
Although the following tool paths (a) through (f) are available, make programming so that the
tool will take a path indicated by a broken line to each desired machining profile (full line).
Calculating formula of tool nose R compensation amount

Note) Except (e) and (f) R =nose R

Note) For (e) and (f), use the following formulas respectively, because a cutting edge is
reversed.

compensation amount (fx, fz) is obtained as follows. (However, the nose radius of a tool used
shall be 0.8.)

6-3 Program
6-3-1 Coordinate Axis

The C-axis is included in the ordinary cutting coordinate system. Each coordinate axis and
signs are defined as follows.
As a matter of fact the Y-axis not exists,

however, prepare a program as if
imaginary Y-axis exists.
6-3-2 Plane Selection of G17, G18, G19

Designate a plane executing circular interpolation and tool radius compensation etc. by G17,
C18 or G19.
A plane should be designated either turning or machining by rotating tool.
Command form
G17 XP_YP_; XP_YP; plane
G18 ZP_XP_; ZP_XP; plane
G19 YP_ZP_; YP_ZP; plane
Provided that, X P: X-axis or it’s parallel axis.

YP: Y-axis or it’s parallel axis.
ZP: Z-axis or it’s parallel axis.
Select G18 (A plane of ZP_XP) at normal turning, G19 (A plane of XP_YP) at machining from
direction of Z-axis.
Since a condition at power on is G18, plane selection must be done by direction of
machining.
(Note) 1. If a plane is not fixed at a block commanded by G17, G18 or G19, it becomes an
alarm.
6-3
6-3-3 Miscellaneous Function for Rotating Tool (M Code)
In case of hole machining, you can use these codes to specify start, stop and reverse
rotation of the tool.
M13 Rotating tool connection + Rotating tool forward rotation

M14 Rotating tool connection + Rotating tool reverse rotation
M15 Rotating tool stop + Spindle positioning
(In case of simple spindle stop, it is available the same spindle stop code M05 for
the turning spindle. Never fail to use M05 when stopping the rotating tool in
tapping process.)
M40 C-axis connection release
(Release is available by the low-speed range selection code of the cutting
spindle.)
M41 C-axis connection release
(Release is available by the high-speed range selection code of the cutting
spindle.)
M43 C-axis connection (IncI. spindle indexing)
M44 Rotating tool connection
M45 Rotating tool connection release
Note: 1) For C-axis specifications, the hole machining canned cycles are added both
to X-axis and Z-axis.
2) H is used to specify C-axis incremental.
3) Execute the reference point return of the C-axis after connection of the C-
axis.

(Note 3) Command a position of Z point by an address of axis of hole making axis.
Command a position of hole making by an address of axis other than hole
making axis.
(Note 4) R and Z points, P, Q, I, J and K etc. are modal during fixed cycle.
(Note 5) Incremental command on B-axis can’t be used during fixed cycle of hole
making.
6-5
(2)Machining cycle
Machining cycle of fixed cycle consists of following motion [1] ~ [7] generally.
[1] Positioning to hole making position

[2] Rapid traverse up to R point
[3] Cutting feed to D point (Feedrate E)
[4] Machining of hole up to Z point (Feedrate F)
[5] Motion at Z point
[6] Return to R point
[7] Rapid traverse to initial point
Provided, Rapid traverse

Cutting feed
(Note 1) Motion between [4] and [6] does not stop by single block.
(Note 2) If E is omitted, moving section by feedrate E moves by feedrate F.
(Note 3) If omit D, motion [3] is ignored.
(Note 4) Command E at tapping cycle G84 or G841, it becomes feedrate of motion [6].
(3)Return point
Return point of fixed cycle command following G code.

(6)Precautions
(1) When single block is ON, stop at the end point of motion [1] [2], [3] and [7]. In this
case a feed hold lamp light at the end point of motion [1], [2], [3] and the end point of
motion [7] if remain the number of times of repetition.
A cycle motion between [4] and [6] other a tapping cycle (G84, G841) can be stopped
on single block by setting of parameter.
(2) If the “FEED HOLD” button is pressed at the motion [4] ~ [6] of G84 or G841, a feed
hold button lights immediately and a motion stops after execution of motion
continuously up to [7].
(3) A feedrate override is fixed at 100% during a motion [4] ~ [6] of G84 or G841.
Effective or ineffective of dry run can be selected by setting of parameter.
(4) Q, P, I, J and K should command in the block contains axis command. P, Q, I, J and K
are not handled as a data of fixed cycle in the other blocks.
Also, P, Q, I, J and K are not handled as a data of fixed cycle in the block
commanded by G code of 00 group except G09.
(5) A fixed cycle mode will be cancelled by commanding G80 or G code of 01 group such
as G00, G01 etc.
(6) If M or S is commanded in a block of fixed cycle command, it issues the first motion
[1], positioning to hole making position.
If number of times of repetition (L) is commanded, M and S issues at the first time
only.
(7) Command by positive value for the numerals of P, Q, I, J, K, L, F or E etc.
(8) Command Q, I, J and K by radius designation always.
(9) R and D are diamtral designation.
(10) When G17~G19 going to be changed, execute it after a fixed cycle is cancelled.

6-4 Polar Coordinate Interpolation Function
6-4-1 Polar Coordinate Function

A workpiece can be machined into an arbitrary shape with the linear axis (X-axis) and rotary
axis (C-axis).
If G121 is specified, polar coordinate interpolation is put into effect and a virtual coordinate
system is set assuming the zero point of the absolute coordinate system as that on the X-C
plane.
A polar coordinate interpolation is executed on this plane.
If G121 is specified, a current C-axis position is assumed as “0”. Therefore, it is necessary
to return the C-axis to the program zero point before specifying G121.
Polar coordinate interpolation allows cutting by G01, G02 or G03. A feedrate is oo mm/min.
Either absolute programming (X, C) or incremental programming (U, H) Is available.
Polar coordinate interpolation allows selection of diameter/radius designation for X-axis and
C-axis commands.
In case of execution of circular interpolation (G02, G03), designation of radius of arc
performs by the address R.
Polar coordinate interpolation is executed over a shape after tool radius compensation.
However, command G120 and G121 at the cancel mode of tool radius compensation (G40).
G120 command turns off the polar coordinate interpolation function.
6-4-2 G Function
There are limit of commandable G code during G121 mode.

(Note) 1. Command the G120 or G121 in the individual block. If it is not individual, it
becomes an alarm.
2. A plane (any one of the G17, G18 or G19) before the G121 has commanded is
cancelled once by a command of the G121 and returns by a command of the
G120.
3. During a polar coordinate interpolation should be G98 (feed per minute).
4. During the G121 mode, the T or S command is not available.
5. The following functions are not available for a block during the G121 mode.
• Program restart
• Block restart
• Return to the interrupted point during machining
•Manual intervention by the manual absolute ON
6. Prepare a program the coordinate axis of the X should be corresponded to the real
coordinate axis of the X.
7. The G00 command is available during the polar coordinate interpolation mode.
However, the end point only changes to the position of polar coordinate system
and a path is not changed for the G00 block.
Also, a positioning system becomes a linear type and a compound travelling speed
becomes a setting speed at the parameter (No.1468). A positioning system and
compound travelling speed is the same for the axis have no relation with the polar
coordinate interpolation.
Example) When G00 X100.0 G50.0 ; is commanded at the G121 mode
becomes the same path which is commanded by the G01 X141.421
G45.0 ; at the G120 mode and a speed applies a parameter value
and acceleration or deceleration speed becomes the same as the
G00.
Also, a movement of rotary axis by G00 is a short cut (movement
within ±180°) to reduce a machining time.
At the time of approach to a workpiece or retract from the workpiece, if the G00 is
commanded during the polar coordinate interpolation mode, may be interfared to
the workpiece.
Avoid a command of G00 at the polar coordinate interpolation mode if possibIe.
8. At the polar coordinate interpolation, a shape which is programmed by the
rectangular coordinate changes a movement of a linear and rotary axes.
Therefore, a speed of rotary axis at the movement near the center of workpiece
(reference point of coordinate) becomes large and it may beyond the limit speed of
the machine.
In this case, clamp a speed of rotary axis at the setting speed of the parameter
(No.1443 : clamping speed of cutting feedrate per each axis) and prevent a speed
too fast.

Function
Generally, an imaginary tool nose point at 0 or 9 can not be applied a tool radius
compensation, however, at the time of G143 mode, a tool radius compensation can be
effective by G145 at an imaginary tool nose point 9.
However, a plane designation by G17, G18 or G19 must be set previously.
G140 : Cancel mode of automatic tool nose R compensation/tool radius compensation
G143 : Automatic tool nose R compensation effective mode (At the time of power on and
reset, a control becomes this mode.)
G145 : Tool radius compensation effective mode
For an information of tool radius compensation, input a compensating amount of tool radius
(radius value of tool) to R and an imaginary to 1 point to T of an applied tool compensating
No.
In case of an imaginary tool point 9, approach by G140 mode and a tool radius
compensation becomes effective by G145.
In case of a tool radius compensation effective, a tool radius compensating program is
available by G40, G41 or G42.
6-5-1 Direction of Tool Radius Compensation

G40 : Tool radius compensation cancel (A tool moves on a path of program.)
G41 : Tool radius compensation, left side (A tool offsets of workpiece toward a moving
direction of tool.)
G42 : Tool radius compensation, right side (A tool offsets right side of workpiece toward
a moving direction of tool.)
6 - 26
6-5-2 Movement of Tool Radius Compensation
In case of execution of tool radius compensation, a program starts a status of compensation
cancel (G40) and command a tool radius compensation mode (G41, G42) then completes
after command a compensation cancel status again.
Divide it three conditions and each block calls as follows;
1. Start up
2. Tool radius compensation mode
3. Tool radius compensation cancel
1. Start up
1. A block changed over from the status of tool radius compensation cancel (G40) to the
status of tool radius compensation mode (G41 or G42) is called as a block of start up.
2. A center of tool moves to perpendicular position of start point of next move command
at a start up block.

G145
G00 G41 X_C_
G01 C_F_
3. Circular interpolation is not is not acceptable for a start up block. It should be executed
either G00 or G01 mode.
4. During tool radius compensation read three blocks in advance to find a stop position of
movement. Therefore, block without move command such as M, S, T code or dwell
etc. must not continue three blocks or more.
6 - 27
2. Tool radius compensation mode
During tool radius compensation mode, the tool moves so that the center of tool is located
at the position perpendicular to the advance direction of the tool.
When tangent angle is 180°, the center of tool is located at the position perpendicular to
the command point.
3. Tool radius compensation cancel

1. A block changed over from the status of tool radius compensation mode to the status
of tool radius compensation cancel (G40) is named a cancel block.
2. When the compensation is completed, the tool moves so that the center of tool is
located at the position perpendicular to the end point of the block immediately before
the cancelled block.

(Note) 1. A plane designation should not change during tool radius compensation mode.
2. In case of changing a direction of tool radius compensation during tool radius
compensation, cancel a tool radius compensation once then execute a start up.
3. Inside compensation of smaller arc than tool radius can not machining because it
generates over cut.
4. Execution of rotating radius command of arc is as follows;
(a) Command R_ when rotating angle is 0 ~ 180°.

(b) Put minus sign on a value of R if rotating angle is beyond 180° and less than
360°.

6-7 G824, G843 Direct Tapping
A direct tapping is performed with a spindle speed of rotating tool and feed rate of tapping axis
synchronize perfectly, therefore, a floating tap holder is not required and a high accuracy
tapping is available at high speed.

[ G842
G843 ] [ G198
G199 ] [ G98
G99 ] X_C_Z_R_P_L_S_F(E)_ ;
G842 : Forward direct tapping

G843 : Reverse direct tapping
G198/G199 : Return point
X_/C_ : Hole position (Note 2)
Z_ : Z point position (Note 2)
R_ : R point position
P_ : Dwell time
L_ : No. of repetition
F_ : G98 mode Feed rate of tapping axis
G99 mode Pitch of tap
E_ : No. of thread per inch (Effective at G99 mode only)
S_ : Spindle speed of rotating tool
(Note 1) If number of repetition (L) is omitted, it deems as L=1.
If L=0 is commanded, it moves at hole position but tapping is not
performed.
(Note 2) Command a position of Z point by an axis address of tapping axis.
Command a hole position by an axis address other than tapping axis.
(Note 3) R and Z points and P are mordal during a fixed cycle.
(2) Machining cycle

A machining cycle of direct tapping consist motions from [1] to [7].
[G842] • • • • • Rapid traverse,  Cutting feed

and stop the tool rotation
[6] Dwell by the parameter setting
[7] Rapid traverse to the initial point
(Note) Tool rotation is reversed at the G843.

6 - 32
(3) Designation of feed rate and pitch (F command)
At the direct tapping, the meaning of F command differs at the feed per minute mode
(G98) and feed per revolution mode (G99).
Also, the E command is available instead of the F command at the G99 mode.
• G98 mode : The F shows a feed rate of tapping axis. (mm/min, inch/min)
• G99 mode : The F shows a pitch of tap. (mm, inch)
The E shows a number of thread per inch. (thread/inch)
(Note 1) A motion becomes a feed per minute even at the G99 mode.
(Note 2) The number of effective digits are same for the F and E.
(Note 3) If the F and E are commanded in the same block, the F becomes effective.
(Note 4) At the G98 mode, a pitch is determined by the F and S (Number of rotation of
tool).
F (mm/min, inch/min)
Pitch (min, inch) = 
S (min−1)
(4) Magnification of returning speed

Returning speed of the direct tapping (Z point - R point) can be changed to the cutting
feed rate (R point - Z point).
Set a magnification of returning speed to the cutting feed rate at the parameter. (unit 0.1).
Parameter No.5211
Returning speed = Cutting feed rate × 
100
However, if zero is set at this parameter, a parameter value is deemed as 10 and the
magnification becomes 1.
Normally, setting value is zero.
(5) Cancel of direct tapping

Command G80 or G code of 01 group (G00, G01, G02, G03 etc.).
However, do not command the other fixed cycle (G70, G71 etc.) in the same block of
cancellation command.
(6) Precautions
(a) Command the direct tapping at the condition of cancellation of constant surface speed
control (G97).
(b) Effective or ineffective can be selected for the dwell by the parameter setting.
Normally, it is set as effective.
(c) A feed rate override and spindle speed override are fixed at 100% while tapping.
However, effective or ineffective can be selected for the dry run by the parameter
6 - 33
setting.
(d) When it performs at the single block, a tool stops at the initial point or R point.
(e) If the “Halt” button is pressed during the tapping, the halt lamp turns on immediately
but the motion continues until the R point then stops.
(f) To cancel a direct tapping, command G80 or G codes of G01 group (G00, G01, G02 . .
. . ). However, do not command the other fixed cycle (G70, G71 etc.) in the same
block of the cancellation command.
(g) When executing the direct tapping, command the spindle speed of the rotating tool at
the immediately before or the same block of the G842 or G843 command.

6-8 G271 Cylindrical Interpolation
When commanding a traveling amount of linear axis and angle of rotary axis by a program
command, a traveling amount of rotary axis commanded by an angle converts to a distance on
the circumference internally. A distance on the circumference deems a traveling amount of
linear axis on the circumference, therefore, the linear or circular interpolation with the other
linear axis is available.
After interpolation, it convert reversly to the angle of rotary axis.
(1) Command form

G271 C Radius of cylinder ; Cylindrical interpolation ON
.
. Cylindrical interpolation mode
.
G271 G0 ; Cylindrical interpolation cancel
(C is a rotary axis.)
A rotating angle of the rotary axis is calculated reversely from the traveling amount on the
circumference.
For example, if a traveling amount on the circumference at the cylinder with a radius =
50.0 is wanted to move by 100.0, find a rotating angle of the rotary axis by the following
formula.
r : Radius of cylinder
θ : Rotating angle
s : Traveling amount on the
circumference of cylinder
360 × s (Traveling
amount on the circumference
Rotating angle = 
2π × r (Radius of cylinder)
360 × 100.0
=  = 114.591
2π × 50.0
(2) Feed rate

A feedrate during the cylindrical interpolation mode becomes a traveling speed of a tool
on the outer diameter of the cylinder.
(3) Plane selection
During the cylinder interpolation mode, the plane in which performs the cylindrical
interpolation is determined as a horizontal axis is a linear axis (Z axis) and a vertical axis
is a rotary axis (C axis). Therefore, since the plane for the cylindrical interpolation is
determined by these parameters, the plane selection (G17 ~ G19) can not commanded
during the cylindrical interpolation.

(5) Precautions
(a) If a tool radius compensation is commanded, start up and cancel should be done
during the cylindrical interpolation mode.
(b) The G271 command (G271 Cxx;) should be commanded in the block individually.
Also, if an axis command is missing after the G271 (G271; for example), It becomes
an alarm.
(c) If an axis other than the axis which is set by the parameter No.7817 is commanded by
the G271 command, it becomes an alarm.
(d) The following functions are not available.
Block restart
Return to the interrupted point of machining
Manual intervention by manual absolute ON
(e) If the following command is issued during the cylindrical interpolation mode, it
becomes an alarm.

has been commanded.)
(f) At the cylindrical interpolation mode, convert an angle of rotary axis to the distance on
the circumference then convert reversely after interpolation.
At this time a conversion error generates slightly.
(g) By the above conversion error, if the circular interpolation for small radius is executed
during the cylindrical interpolation mode, the circular interpolation alarm may occur,
therefore, an attention is required when it applies. Also, a tool radius compensation
alarm may occur at the tool radius compensation by the above reason.
(h) If the cylindrical interpolation mode ON, G271 Cxx; (C ≠ 0), is commanded again
during the cylindrical interpolation mode, it becomes an alarm.
(i) A remaining traveling amount is shown a value which is traveling the outer diameter of
the cylinder.
