1 Introduction

For standard machining processes which are frequently repeated, machining cycles are
available as permanently stored subroutines in the user memory submodule (UMS). Input
images of blueprint programmed blocks are also contained in this submodule.
The cycles can be provided with the necessary data by using input screen forms and softkeys
or by programming the R parmeters directly into the program.
Machining cycles are called in the part program or subroutine.
In the examples given, the R parameters are assigned values either via the menu display or
directly in the part program.

The described cycles can be modified if desired. Ensure compliance with any additional
information provided by the machine-tool manufacturer.
All images are enclosed by a frame. This frame contains the menu display and all defining
parameters, which are also identified with symbols. The symbols are used in the menu
displays as dimensioning mnemonics.
The cycles end uniformly with preparatory functions G00, G60 and G90. Any other G functions
required when the program continues must be reprogrammed.

11.89 1 Introduction

In the Cycles Description the following is presumed:

• The Programming Guide, User's Guide and Operator's Guide have been studied. The
Description is valid for all System 800 controls.
• If the R parameters are to be assigned via menu displays, the graphics function must be
available.
• In drilling and milling patterns, polar coordinate programming is required.
• The ”blueprint programming” option is a prerequisite for L95 Recessing cycle.
• The current plane must be selected before calling the cycle via G16 or G17 to G19. The
infeed axis (drilling axis) is always the axis perpendicular to the current axis.

• If the blueprint programmed block is to be supplied with data by means of the input
images, the "blueprint programming" option is required.
If the blueprint programmed blocks are being used on an M control, a plane selection
display can be shown by softkey.

This initiates an axis name adjustment in the coordinate cross according to the selected
plane. In addition, the path addresses in the contour definitions are adjusted according to
the plane chosen in the selection display.

Make sure, however, that the selected plane (G16 or G17) is programmed in the part
program.

Compatibility

The standard user memory submodule (UMS) has been completely revamped and offers a
whole range of new functions and options (UMS 4). The UMS 4 is not compatible with UMS 2.
If you wish to make use of the new functions in the UMS 4, part programs created before must
be adapted.
Setting data SD 5000 can be used to define whether the expanded functions of the UMS 4
can be used or whether the functions of the user submodule UMS 2 ard to be used
(compatible mode).

Machine data (MD) 19

For the SINUMERIK 850 the P number of the TO memory in which the address of the
following tool stands must be written into machine data MD 19 for tool management.
SINUMERIK 850/880 MD 19 = 10 (standard value)
= 5 to 9 (variable P number)

The following alarms are output in the cycles:

Alarms Description

4100 No D number active (L901-904, L93-L95)

4101 Tool radius = 0 (L903, L930)

4102 Cutter radius too large (L901, L903, L904, L930)

4103 Tool too wide (L93)

4120 No spindle direction programmed (L84)

4121 Spindle not inside tolerance range (L84)

4122 1) Calculated feed too great (L841)

4140 Machined part diameter too small (L94)

4153 Thread length too short (L84 only SINUMERIK 850/880)

4180 Option not available

4200 Check definition R (Nxxx)

Example: 4200 1 N 32 Check definition R (Nxxx)

In the cycle being executed in channel 1, the system has determined that parameter R32 has
been incorrectly defined.

Apart from L95 and L96 (stock removal cycles), the scale factor is taken into account in the
cycles. The scale factor is not effective with contour subroutines.

_______
1) This alarm only occurs with SINUMERIK 880M, GA2 .

1 Introduction 05.91

If the cycles are supplied with data via menu displays, several storage softkeys are available
for selection:

• STORE MENU
The display branches directly to the selected part program.
• STORE CHOICE
The display branches to the selection menu (overall selection of drilling and milling
patterns). The parameters are already stored in the part program.
• STORE
The display branches to the selection menu. Storage takes place with blueprint
programmed blocks. The selected display is retained.
• STORE DRILLING PATTERN
The display branches to the drilling patterns (L900, L905, L906); R28 is automatically
supplied with the selected drilling cycle (L81 to L89) in the input image.

With SINUMERIK 850/880, the number of the drilling cycle is written in the
part program as soon as the STORE DRILLING PATTERN key is pressed.
R28 is not available in the drilling patterns L900, L905, L906.

2.1.1 L93 Grooving cycle (prerequisite: blueprint programming)

The grooving cycle L93 allows symmetrical and asymmetrical outside and inside grooves to be
made; these may be longitudinal or facing cuts.

In the case of two-edged tools (recessing tools), the tool offset for one cutting edge of the
recessing tool must be selected and the desired offset value programmed before the grooving
cycle is called in a machining program.

The tool offset for the second cutting edge of the recessing tool must then be stored in the
tool offset memory under the next higher offset number. If the tool offset for the first cutting
edge is D = "n", the tool offset for the second cutting edge will have the offset number
D = "n" + 1.

In connection with tool management, the P No. of the TO memory in which the address of the
following tool stands must be written in machine data MD 19 for SINUMERIK 850.

When using the tool management system in the 840/880 controls and L93, the cycle machine
data (MDZ) 7000 bit 4 must be set to 1.

The following values are entered in the menu display or they are programmed directly in the
part program as parameter assignments:

Symbol Parameter Description

R10 Type of machining: longitudinal R10 = 0; face R10 = 1

D1/L1 R21 Outside/inside diameter or starting length (face)

R31 R21 is approached with a safety

a

R22 clearance of 1 mm with both

longitudinal and facing cuts.

R23: Control parameter

The control parameter defines the starting point:

Longitudinal groove : 23= 1 Outside right Facing groove: R23 = 1 Right inside
1 Inside right 1 Left inside
–1 Outside left –1 Right outside
–1 Inside left –1 Left outside

S1 R24: Final machining allowance at recess groove base (incremental)

S2 R25: Final machining allowance of flanks (incremental)

The final machining allowances R24/R25 can be input with different values.

Stock removal (roughing) is effected down to the finishing allowance. Then the finishing
increment is removed parallel to contour with the same tool.

If radii or chamfers are to be inserted at the groove base, a check is made to determine
whether these would be damaged when plunge cutting.

If R24/R25 = 0, stock removal parallel to the contour does not occur.

2.1.1 L93 Grooving cycle (prerequisite: blueprint programming)

Zt R26: Infeed depth (incremental)

By programming the infeed depth, it is possible to determine whether the groove depth is to
be reached in one or more cuts. If several cuts are required, the tool is retracted by 1 mm for
chip breaking after each infeed (cf. 2 step).

B R 27: Width of groove (incremental)

If the width of groove is wider than the cutting tool, the infeed is divided into equal parts. The
maximum infeed depends on the tool width. It is 95 % of the tool width after deduction of the
cutter radii. This guarantees overlapping cuts.

t R28: Dwell at groove depth

Dwell must be large enough to permit at least one spindle revolution.

W1 R29: Angle
W2 R35: Angle

The flank angle can be between 0° and 89°. For longitudinal grooves, enter the angle from the
perpendicular axis, and with face cuts the angle from the horizontal axis.

D2/L2 R31: Groove diameter or length of groove depth (face) (absolute)

R31 determines the groove depth:

R1 R30: Radius or chamfer at groove base

R2 R32: Radius or chamfer at groove edge
R3 R33: Radius or chamfer at groove base
R4 R34: Radius or chamfer at groove edge

Radii or chamfers can be inserted at the base and/or edge of the groove by means of
parameters R30, R32, R33 and R34.

Signs + = Radius
– = Chamfer

2.1.2 L94 Undercut cycle

L94 cycle permits form E and F undercuts under normal conditions according to DIN 509 with
a machined part diameter of > 18 mm. The TNRC is automatically selected in the cycle. A
feed value must be programmed before L94 is called.

The following values are input in the menu display or programmed directly as parameter
assignments:

Symbol Parameter Description

S1 R01 Definition of the tool nose position (1 to 4)

D R02 Starting point of the contour in X

Ap R03 Starting point of the contour in Z

R04 Identifier for form E or F:
R04 = 4 Form E for workpieces with one machining surface
R04 = 5 Form F for workpieces with two machining surfaces
positioned perpendicular to each other

S1 R01: Definition o the tool nose position (1 to 4)

The tool nose position is defined in R01. Four tool nose positions can be selected: Sl=1,
Sl=2, Sl=3, Sl=4.

2.1.2 L94 Undercut cycle

D R02: Starting point of the contour in X

R02 is supplied with the diameter of the machined part. The cycle automatically adds 2 mm in
diameter to this dimension, which represents the starting point in X.

Ap R03: Starting point of the contour in Z

In R03, the machined part dimension in Z is entered. The cycle automatically adds 10 mm to
this dimension, which represents the starting point in Z.

2.1.3 L95 Stock removal cycle with relief cut elements

L96 Stock removal cycle without relief cut elements

Stock removal cycles L95/L96 permit paraxial machining of a blank with the contour
programmed in a subroutine. The machining cycles can be called from any position where
there is no danger of collision. The control calculates the starting point automatically using the
final contour description.

• L95
With L95, relief cut elements (max. 10) are also permitted in the contour. Removal of
remaining corners and finishing are always carried out in the same direction as roughing,
even if the contour is programmed in the opposite direction.

• L96
L96 permits quicker starting of the first traversing movement. With L96, removal of
remaining corners and finishing are always carried out in the direction of the programmed
contour. Before calling L96, a feedrate must be programmed in the part program since the
R parameters R28 and R30 are omitted.

If the parameters are assigned via the menu display, the desired cycle number L95/L96 must
be entered.

The following values are entered in the menu display or programmed directly in the part
program as parameter assignments:

Symbol Parameter Description

R20 Subroutine number under which the contour is stored

Ap1 R21 Starting point of the contour in X (absolute)

Ap2 R22 Starting point of the contour in Z (absolute)

S1 R24 Finishing cut depth in X (incremental)

S2 R25 Finishing cut depth in Z (incremental)

Zt R26 Depth of roughing cut in X or Z (incremental)

(not required for roughing where R29 = 21 to 24)
R27 Tool nose radius compensation (G41, G42)

F R28 Feedrate (with cycle L95 only)

R30 Feed factor for infeed with relief cutting

2.1.3 L95/L96 Stock removal cycle with/without relief cut elements

R20: Subroutine number

The subroutine number intended for programming the final contour must be specified in R20.

The subroutine can comprise any number of blocks, but at least two. A traverse path must be
programmed in each block. The final contour can be defined with blueprint programming (see
Programming Guide). Skippable blocks are permitted in the contour.

A contour element with the maximum diameter must be provided at the end of the contour.

The starting point of the contour must not be programmed in the contour subroutine. This is
defined with parameters R21 and R22 (contour starting points).

2.1.3 L95/L96 Stock removal cycle with/without relief cut elements

Ap1 R21: Starting point of the contour in X

Ap2 R22: Starting point of the contour in Z

The parameters R21 and R22 must be supplied with the contour starting points. With roughing,
the points are automatically approached by the finishing increment R24/R25 plus a safety
margin of 1 mm. If this margin is insufficient, the contour starting points R21 and R22 must be
shifted accordingly.

Example:

Cycle L95 approaches this starting point as follows:

In the case of longitudinal machining, the starting point in cycle L95 is approached with both
axes simultaneously. This applies to the values 11 / 21 / 31 / 41 / 13 / 23 / 33 / 43 of
parameter R29.

In the case of face machining, the starting point is always approached with both axes
simultaneously, except for finishing (R 29=22 or 24), with a final machining allowance of at
least a value not equal to zero (R24 or R25 or both values not equal to zero). In such cases,
first the Z axis and then the X axis is traversed.
Explanation of parameters R24, R25 and R29 for starting point approach with face machining:

2.1.3 L95/L96 Stock removal cycle with/without relief cut elements

S1 R24: Final machining allowance in X (incremental)

S2 R25: Final machining allowance in Z (incremental)

The contour is shifted by the amount

of finishing increment entered (R24,
R25). In the "roughing" machining
mode, roughing is carried out down

to this finishing increment.

In the "finishing" machining mode,

stock removal is effected parallel to
contour down to the finishing
increment. Roughing depth R26
need not be programmed.

If R24/R25 are supplied with 0, the

tool travels along the contour final
dimensions.

Zt R26: Roughing chip depth with X or Z (incremental)

During roughing the cycle checks whether the current chip depth is less than double the
roughing chip depth R26. If the current chip depth is less than double, then the following
applies to the last two cuts:

R26 roughing chip depth = current chip depth/2.

R27: Tool nose radius compensation (G41, G42)

The cycle selects and deselects the tool nose radius compensation independently when
selected by R27 = (G41, G42). (See R29 for further details.)

F R28: Feedrate

R28 must be supplied with the desired feedrate. To execute the cycle at a constant cutting
rate, the "constant cutting rate G96" function must be selected before calling the cycle.

R30: Feedrate factor for rate of infeed with undone cutting

The plunge-cutting rate can be influenced by the feed factor R30. The feedrate factor must
then be supplied with a value less than or equal to 1. The plunge-cutting rate is the product of
R28 and R30.

Notes on contour definition

• With cycles L95 and/or L96 it is possible to machine ascending contours. A contour
element containing the maximum contour diameter must be programmed at the end of the
contour definition, where the final diameter must be larger than the initial diameter.
”Ascending” means that all the contour sections programmed in the contour form an angle
Wi of between 90° and 180° with the positive horizontal axis, i.e. 90° Wi 180°.

Several relief cut elements can follow each other in succession.

Relief cut elements contain ”descending” contour sections, which, analogous with
”ascending” contour sections, produce an angle between 0 and 90 degrees, 0 < Wi <

Paraxial relief cut elements cannot be machined when infeeding into a relief cut (see
example ). Nor is it possible to produce relief cuts only from descending contour
elements (see example ), as this would cause a collision when the tool is withdrawn
after roughing.

2.1.3 L95/L96 Stock removal cycle with/without relief cut elements

• A defined final contour can be roughed paraxially either parallel to the horizontal axis
(longitudinal machining) or to the vertical axis (face machining). This is defined in
parameter R29.
Not every contour with relief cut elements can be both machined longitudinally and on the
face with stock removal cycle L95. This depends on the geometry of the contour and the
turning tool.
To ensure that the correct type of machining is used for a workpiece for a defined contour,
the following explains which contour types should be machined longitudinally, which
contour types should be face machined and which types can be machined in both ways.
The contours are therefore either described as longitudinal or face contours.
A longitudinal contour is a contour on which all intersection points in longitudinal machining
lie on ascending contour elements and not on contour elements which are parallel to the
horizontal axis.

To compare:
The determined intersection points for Face machining also produces points of
longitudinal machining are only located in N20, intersection on ”descending” contour
i.e. in a rising contour element elements in N10 and N15

All intersection points on a face contour are located either on descending contour
elements or contour elements which are parallel to the horizontal axis.

2.1.3 L95/L96 Stock removal cycle with/without relief cut elements

By the same token, contours without relief cut elements are both longitudinal and face
contours and can be parameterized with any R29 value. It is however better to use cycle
L96 (stock removal cycle without relief cut) to machine these contours.
For each contour the machining type (in R29) must be defined according to the above
definition, i.e. longitudinal contours must be machined longitudinally (R29 is always
uneven) and face contours therefore face machined (R29 is always an even number). It is
however also possible to machine contours which fulfill certain conditions using the other
machining method if the correct tool is used.
Longitudinal contours can be face machined (and face contours can be machined
longitudinally) if:

– For longitudinal contours:

No angle of Wi 45° to the horizontal axis is contained in any ”descending” path
sections.
For face contours:
No angle of Wi < 45° to the horizontal axis is contained in any ”descending” path
sections.

– The following interrelationship is maintained between the final machining allowances in

X and Z:
Final machining allowance in X c · final machining allowance in Z
with
c = amount (Diff XREmax / Diff ZREmax)
and by Diff XREmax (or Diff ZREmax) is meant the coordinate difference between the
starting point and end point in X (or Z) of the descending contour section which
together with the horizontal axis produces the largest angle. Accordingly, c is the
tangent of this contour section.

When selecting the final machining allowance the following applies:

The contour contains two descending contour elements, N10 and N15. These form the
angles
W1 = 9.463° (N10)
W2 = 26.565° (N15)
with the positive Z axis. This produces the value C (which refers to N15) where
c = amount ((45–30) / (70–40)) = 0.5.

Therefore, if a final machining allowance in Z of 3.5 mm is selected the final machining

allowance in X must be at least 1.75 mm or conversely, with a final machining allowance in
X of 0.5 mm, the final machining allowance in Z must not be greater than 1 mm.
This relationship between the final machining allowances is not required if the contour is
to be machined longitudinally. Then any values can be entered in R24 and R25.
If the contour is only to be finish cut, the longitudinal contours must be parameterized with
the R29 values 21 and 23 and the face contours with R29=22 and/or 24.

2.1.4 L97 Thread cutting cycle

Thread cutting cycles: Distinction between transversal and longitudinal threads

Both longitudinal and transversal threads are possible with L97 and L98. The distinction
depends on the angle resulting from the thread starting point, P1, and the first
intermediate/end point of the thread, P2. If an angle greater than 45° results, the thread is
machined transversally (see example).

• Longitudinal thread
The | Delta Z1 | amount must be greater than or equal to the | Delta X1 | amount, i.e. the
angle is less than or equal to 45°.

P R20: Thread pitch

The thread pitch must be entered as a paraxial value without sign.

Ap1 R21: Starting point of thread in X (absolute)

Ap2 R22: Starting point of thread in Z (absolute)

The parameters R21 and R22 represent the original starting points of the thread (A). The
starting point of the thread cycle is at point B, which is located at parameter R26 (approach
path) in front of the thread output point.

With a longitudinal thread, the starting point B is 1 mm above value R21, and 1 mm ahead of
value R22 in the case of transversal threads. This retracted plane is generated automatically
by the control.

The thread cycle can be called from any slide position, the approach to point B is effected in
rapid traverse.

R23: Idle passes

Any number of idle passes can be selected.

T R24: Thread depth (incremental)

The depth of the thread is entered using parameter R24. The sign determines the infeed
direction, i.e. whether it is an outside, inside or transversal thread. (+ inside thread, -outside
thread, transversal thread).

S R25: Finishing cut depth (incremental)

If a finishing cut depth is programmed under

R25, this depth is subtracted from the thread
depth and the remaining value is divided into
roughing cuts.

R28: Number of roughing cuts

The parameter value determines the number of thread roughing cuts. The control automatically
calculates the individual infeed depths keeping the cross-sectional area of the cut constant.
Thereby, it is guaranteed that the cut pressure from the first to the last roughing cut remains
the same.

The depth of the current cut t is calculated with the following equation:

t t=R24 - R25
t= . i i=current cut
R28

Parameters R11 and R21 represent the original starting points of the thread (A). The starting
point of the thread cycle is at point B, which is positioned in front of the thread starting point
by the length of the approach path in parameter R26:

In the diameter (X axis), starting point B is 1 mm above the parameter value R11; in the case
of a transversal thread, it is 1 mm in front of value R21. This retraction plane is automatically
created by the control. The thread cycle can be called from any slide position; the approach to
point B is at rapid traverse.

Zp1 R12: First intermediate point of thread in X (absolute)

Zp3 R22: First intermediate point of thread in Z (absolute)

Parameters R12 and R22 represent the first intermediate point of the thread.

Zp2 R13: Second intermediate point of thread in X (absolute)

Zp4 R23: Second intermediate point of thread in Z (absolute)

Parameters R13 and R23 represent the second intermediate point of the thread. If only one
intermediate point is to be entered, parameters R12 or R22, R13 or R23 and R14 or R24 must
be given the same values.

Ep1 R14: Thread end position in X (absolute)

Ep2 R24: Thread end position in Z (absolute)

Parameters R14 and R24 represent the original end point of the thread (D). If no intermediate
point is to be given, parameters R12 or R22, R13 or R23 and R14 or R24 and pitches R41,
R42 and R43 must be given the same values.

R28: Number of roughing cuts

The parameter value defines the number of thread roughing cuts. The control automatically
calculates the individual infeed depths at constant chip cross-section. This ensures that the cut
pressure remains the same from the first to the last roughing cut.

The current cut depth t is calculated according to the following equation:

t t=R36 – R25

T2 R26: Final drilling depth

The drilling depth goes on reducing by a constant amount of degression until the end point
R26 is reached in each case.

However, if a particular drilling depth is theoretically less than the amount of degression, it is
maintained constant at this magnitude.

If the remaining infeed depth is less than twice the amount of degression, the remaining
amount is halved. The two final infeeds are executed with this halved value. This ensures that
the final infeed is not executed with a value that is not high enough. This calculation always
results in a minimum infeed of half the degression amount.

2.2 Machining cycles for drilling and milling

The drilling and milling cycles L900 to L930 are programmed as absolute values. The axis
name, radius and angle can be selected with variable addresses by means of machine data.

The current plane must be selected via G16 or G17 to G19 before calling the cycles. The
infeed axis (drilling axis) is always the axis positioned perpendicular to the current plane. This
permits utilization of drilling and milling cycles in all axes.

Before calling the cycles, the length compensation must be selected. The length compensation
of the tool (milling cutter, drill) is always effective perpendicular to the selected plane and
remains active also after the cycle has been completed.

The appropriate feedrate, spindle speed and spindle direction of rotation must be programmed
in the part program (apart from the cycles in which the values can be programmed as input
parameters).

The centre point coordinates R22 and R23 are programmed in a right-handed system, for
example:

G17 plane R22=X, R23=Y, infeed axis=Z

G18 plane R22=Z, R23=X, infeed axis=Y
G19 plane R22=Y, R23=Z, infeed axis=X

2.2.1 Drilling cycles G81 to G89

A drilling cycle (working cycle) defines a series of machine motions for drilling, boring, tapping
etc. in accordance with DIN 66025. The drilling cycles G81 to G89 are executed as
subroutines L81 to L89. These subroutines are stored in the control.

The user can deviate from a standard fixed cycle and redefine it, if it meets his specific
machine or workpiece requirements in a better way. The parameters R00 to R17 are used by
the subroutines to define the variable values (reference planes, final depth, drilling feedrate,
dwell time etc.) and their values are defined in the higher-level program.

The subroutines L81 to L89 can be called via G81 to G89 by assigning the parameters in the
program. They are modal and are cancelled with G80. The selection and cancellation of G81 -
G89 should be done only within one program level (compare example).

Example: Call G81 (drilling, centering)

%81
N8101 G90 F130 S710 M03 LF
N8102 G00 D01 Z50 T03 LF
N8103 X10 Y15 LF Approach 1st drilling position
N8104 G81 R2=2 R3=-15 R10=10 LF Call L81, parameter assignment
N8105 X30 Y40 LF Approach 2nd drilling position
N8110 G80 Z50 LF Deselect L81
N8115 M30 LF

The drilling hole position must be approached in the current plane by the calling program. The
drilling cycle called with G81-G89 is executed in every NC block until it is cancelled with G80.
It should therefore be noted that the drilling cycle becomes active even after NC blocks
containing no position data.

2.2.1 Drilling cycles G81 to G89

T2 R03: Final drilling depth (absolute)

1. The first drilling stroke is processed according to the programmed R01 (first drilling depth).

2. The second drilling stroke is processed: this is arrived at by subtracting R05 (amount of
degression) from R01 (first drilling depth). If the drilling stroke calculated internally in the
cycle is less than the degression amount, the remaining drilling strokes will be executed
with the R05 value (amount of degression) until the remaining drilling depth is reached.

3. If the remaining drilling depth is greater than R05 (amount of degression) and less than
double R05, it is divided into two drilling strokes.

R05 < a < 2 · R05 (a = remaining drilling depth)

Once the drilling strokes concerned have been executed, the retraction movement
depends on the programming of R11 (chip breaking/chip removal).

R11: Chip breaking, chip removal

If R11 is assigned with 0, the drill is retracted by 1 mm for chip breaking once each drilling
depth has been reached.

If R11 is assigned with 1, the drill travels to the reference plane for chip removal once each
drilling depth has been reached.

2.2.1 Drilling cycles G81 to G89

Subroutine L84: Tapping for machines with and without encoder

Cycle L84 permits tapping with and without encoder. In both cases, a compensating chuck
must be used.
However, SINUMERIK 810M GA1 (from NC SW 3 onwards) and SINUMERIK 810M
GA2/SINUMERIK 820 (from NC SW 2 onwards), tapping can be executed without using a
compensating chuck subject to the use of the "dynamic spindle compensation" (Option) and
an encoder.
Depending on machine data 5013.1, the cycle recognizes whether tapping is to take place with
or without encoder.
MD 5013.1 = 1: tapping without encoder, MD 5013.1 = 0: tapping with encoder.
If cycle L84 is used on T controls, the compensating chuck used must be longer than on M
controls.
Spindle override and feedrate override must be permanently set to 100 %.
The following values are entered in the menu display or programmed directly as parameter
assignments:

Symbol Parameter Description

E1 R02 Reference plane (absolute)

T R03 Final drilling depth (absolute)

t R04 Dwell at thread depth

Me R06 Direction of rotation for retraction (M03/M04)

Ma R07 Direction of rotation after cycle (M03/M04)

R08 Tapping 1=with encoder, 0=without encoder

P R09 Thread pitch

E2 R10 Retraction plane (absolute)

R11 Number of drilling axis (not included in L84 SINUMERIK 850/880)

t R04: Dwell at thread depth

The dwell time is effective only with tapping without encoder.
Me R06: Direction of rotation for retraction
If the direction of spindle rotation is to be reversed automatically, R06 must be set to 0. If MD
5013.1 without encoder is set, R06 must be programmed, otherwise error message 4120 "No
spindle direction programmed" appears.
Ma R07: Direction of rotation after cycle
If the tapping cycle is called with modal function G84, the cycle requires a direction of rotation
in order to be able to make further thread holes. This information is programmed in R07.
To make the first thread hole, the direction of rotation must be entered in the part program
with M03 or M04 before the cycle is called. This also applies to a single call.
If R06 = 0 is programmed (automatic reversal of spindle direction of rotation), R07 must not
be assigned.

R08: Tapping with/without encoder

If tapping is to be executed without an encoder although one is available, (MD 5013.1 = 0),
R08 must be assigned with 0.

If MD 5013.1 = 1 (without encoder) and R08 = 1 (with encoder) are selected, R08 is
disregarded.

P R09: Pitch
Thread pitch is effective only in conjunction with tapping with encoder. The required feedrate
value is calculated by means of the input spindle speed and thread pitch.

When tapping without encoder, a feedrate value must be entered in the part program.

R11: Number of drilling axis

SINUMERIK 850M/SINUMERIK 880M:
If cycle L84 is used with these control types, R11 is invalid. The drilling axis is obtained from
the selected plane.

SINUMERIK 810M, GA1 und SINUMERIK 810M GA2/SINUMERIK 820:

If cycle L84 is used with these control types, R11 can be supplied with the number of the
drilling axis or, alternatively (R11 programmed with 0), the drilling axis is obtained from the
selected plane.

However, if R11 is supplied with the number of the drilling axis, no STOP DECODING is
output in the cycle. L84 is processed more quickly in this case.

L84 Function extension

For SINUMERIK 850/880, cycle L843 has been extended to include the brake start point
calculation function enabling the tap overtravel to be compensated for depending on spindle
speed, actual gear speed and spindle acceleration time constant when tapping (G33).
The brake start point calculation function is activated with setting data 5000.7.
SD 5000.7 = 0 No calculation of overtravel compensation
SD 5000.7 = 1 Calculation of overtravel compensation

Note
Cycle L84 has a new cycle alarm: 4153 Thread length too short
This alarm occurs if the calculated overtravel compensation path is greater than the thread
length.

Remedy:
• Program lower spindle speed
• Place reference plane point (R2) higher.
Make sure the compensating chuck releases properly.
• Set SD 5000 bit 7= 0 (deselect overtravel compensation)

Points to note:
• The cycle runs with the first spindle only. The first spindle must be processed in the 1st
PLC (signals from/to spindle must be set for the 1st PLC).
• The cycle functions only if the calculated overtravel path is shorter than the thread length.
• When tapping with a drilling pattern make sure that the spindle will not reach its fall speed
immediately at cycle start but only after some time has elapsed. Otherwise the cycle would
calculate an incorrect overtravel compensation
• The spindle override must be at 100%.
• The spindle run-up time must be set in the NC via MD and not at the drive, since
otherwise calculation would not be correct.

Subroutine L841: Tapping without compensating chuck (option), as from UMS 47

With SINUMERIK 880M GA2, Software Version 1 and higher, it is possible to machine tapped
holes without a compensating chuck. In contrast to the previous tapping cycle, this subroutine
has special features which are described below.

Therefore the selection display for tapping cycles L81 to L84 has been extended to include
the selection between tapping with and without compensating chuck. If the option ”Tapping
without compensating chuck” has been implemented, the operator can either select the input
display for the conventional cycle L84 (key ”with chuck”) or the input display for the new cycle
L841 (key ”without compensating chuck”) via the softkeys. However, the cycle can also be
used if a compensating chuck is available.

The following values are entered in the menu display or directly in the part program to set the
parameters:

2.2.1 Drilling cycles G81 to G89

t R04: Dwell in thread

The dwell time is always active and is programmed to match an F word.
Note: A dwell time should not be programmed if an exceptionally good dynamic response of
the tapping function is required, i.e. R4=0 should be set.

P R09: Pitch
As the cycle is based on the interrelationship between the spindle as a rotary axis and a
longitudinal axis, the pitch has to be programmed in the cycle in order to calculate the position
of the rotary axis which corresponds to the programmed final drilling depth of the thread as
well as the required feedrate value which corresponds to the programmed speed.

The following conditions have to be fulfilled when cycle L841 is used:

If cycle L841 is activated without the option ”Tapping without compensating chuck”, alarm
4180 ”Option not available” appears and the cycle is not executed as a programming error has
occurred.
The feedrate override is of no significance as the spindle interpolates as an axis. The feedrate
override can be altered but, depending on the desired thread size, should not be less than a
certain minimum value in order to obtain optimum cutting conditions.
The feedrate calculated for the tapping is compared with the maximum permissible feedrate of
the rotary axis and should the latter be smaller, alarm 4122 ”Calculated feed too great” is
output. In order to eliminate the error, either the speed programmed in the S word in the
G203/G204 block must be reduced or the maximum permissible feedrate in the machine data
must be checked.
As the spindle operates as a rotary axis in the cycle a special check must be made of the axis-
specific machine data for rotary axes, MD560* bit 3 ”Rounding for rotary axes”. It must not be
set as alarm 2064, ”Rounding for rotary axis incorrectly programmed” will be output if the
setpoint position for the rotary axis calculated by the cycle does not involve a movement to 0.5
or 1 degree.
If cycle L841 is called from drilling pattern L900, please note setting data bit SD 5000.6 with
UMS 48 and higher (see L900 description).

Programming
Cycle L841 is a part of the function ”Tapping without compensating chuck” and is
programmed as follows:
First the drilling position is selected in the part program. Then the spindle is switched to rotary
axis mode with G203 (direction of rotation clockwise) or G204 (direction of rotation counter-
clockwise). For this a separate program block must be written in the following format:
G203 or G204 [name of rotary axis] [angle] [name of infeed axis] S [speed]
Switchover with G203/G204 can only be executed from initial setting (G205).
Then the cycle is parameterized and is called with L84 or G84. If the control recognizes the
call with L84 or G84 and G203/G204 is active the cycle for which the program number in NC
machine data 274 is set (standard value 841) is activated. If this machine data is set to zero,
alarm 3008, ”Subroutine error” is output.
If additional holes are to be drilled a new position must be programmed and the cycle must be
called again if necessary.
After the last hole has been machined the function ”Tapping without compensating chuck” is
deselected with G205. If G84 has been programmed G80 must be programmed before G205.

With setting data 5000, bit 0 = 0, a mode compatible with UMS 2 is possible, i.e. programs
generated with UMS 2 can be run.

If programs created with UMS 3/60 are used, parameters R04, R16 and R17 must be added
subsequently, and setting data 5000 bit 0 must be set to 1.

If setting data 5000 bit 0 is set to 1, once the final drilling depth has been reached, an M19
oriented spindle stop occurs. After this, rapid traverse to the programmed retraction positions
R12 and R13 is executed as far as the retraction plane.

With M19, an oriented stop can be executed with the main spindle. The corresponding angle
value is programmed and entered via the operator's panel under "Setting data spindle".

If setting data 5000 bit 0 is set to 0, a non-oriented M05 spindle stop follows at the final drilling
depth.

2.2.2.1 L900 Drilling patterns

By using drilling cycles L81 to L89, L900 allows hole circles to be generated. During
programming, either the "Drilling pattern" menu is selected and the R parameters are entered
in the menu displays or the parameters are programmed directly as parameter assignments in
the part program: subroutine L900 is active in the current plane.
If L84 (with encoder) is used, a feedrate value must be programmed in the part program
before calling L900.
If L900 is used together with ”Tapping without compensating chuck” on the SINUMERIK 880
GA2, please observe the following:
In cycle L900 an additional safety clearance of 1 mm in the drilling axis is programmed for
traversing outside the drilling cycle. With UMS 48 and higher it is possible to suppress this by
setting setting data SD 5000.6.
If tapping without compensating chuck is called in L 900 as the drilling cycle (L841), this bit
must be set as otherwise alarm 3902 is output in cycle L 900.

2.2.2 Drilling and milling patterns

Zt R01: Infeed depth (incremental)

If the infeed depth is assigned with R1 = 0, the infeed is executed immediately to pocket
depth at the feedrate. If the pocket cannot be milled with a single infeed, an infeed depth must
be entered. The milling process is repeated until the pocket depth is reached. If a residual
infeed depth of less than double R01 results, this is divided into two equal values. Enter the
infeed depth as an incremental value without sign.

R R24: Radius

For the radius value, enter the distance from the centre point to the slot edge.

Wf R26: Indexing angle

If 0 is stated as the indexing angle, the number of slots is divided into 360°.

B R12: Slot width

The milling cutter diameter must be smaller than 0.9 times the slot width. Failure to comply
with this results in error message 4102 (cutter radius too great). Similarly, the milling cutter
radius must not be less than half the slot width.

Zt R01: Infeed depth (incremental)

If the infeed depth is assigned with R1 = 0, the infeed is executed immediately to pocket
depth at the feedrate. If the pocket cannot be milled with a single infeed, an infeed depth must
be entered. The milling process is repeated until the pocket depth is reached. If a residual
infeed depth of less than double R01 results, this is divided into two equal values. Enter the
infeed depth as an incremental value without sign.

R R24: Radius

For the radius value, enter the distance from the centre point to the elongated hole edge.

Wf R26: Indexing angle

If 0 is stated as the indexing angle, the number of slots is divided into 360°.

2.2.2.4 L903 Milling rectangular pocket

During programming, either the "RECTANGULAR POCKET" menu is selected and the R
parameters are entered in the menu displays, or these values are directly programmed as
parameter assignments in the part program. Subroutine L903 is active in the current plane.

The cycle is also used to mill circular pockets. If the values are programmed directly as
parameter assignments, R parameters R12 and R13 are assigned with the values of the
pocket diameter. In addition, R24 must be assigned with the pocket radius value.

Symbol Parameter Description

Zt R01 Enter infeed depth without sign (incremental)

E1 R02 Reference plane (absolute)

T R03 Pocket depth (absolute)

G R06 Milling direction (G02/G03)

Ft R16 Feedrate (pocket depth)

Mw R22 Centre point of pocket (horizontal) (absolute)

Ms R23 Centre point of pocket (vertical) (absolute)
(referred to workpiece zero)
R R24 Corner radius

In cycle L903, cutter radius compensation is deselected (G40). The milling cutter radius is
automatically taken into account and this must be stored in the tool offset memory.

With setting data 5000, bit 0 = 0, a mode compatible with UMS 2 is possible, i.e. programs
generated with UMS 2 can be run.

If programs created with UMS 3/60 are used, parameter R04 must be changed to R16, and
setting data 5000 bit 1 must be set to 1.

If the milling cutter radius is equal to or greater than half of the smaller pocket side, error
message 4102 (cutter radius too great) is issued.

Make sure that the milling cutter radius is no greater than the desired corner radius. No error
message is issued.

2.2.2.8 L930 Milling circular pocket

During programming, either the "Circular pocket" menu is selected and the R parameters are
entered in the menu displays, or these values are programmed directly as parameter
assignments in the part program. Subroutine L930 is active in the current plane.

Symbol Parameter Description

Zt R01 Enter infeed depth without sign (incremental)

E1 R02 Reference plane (absolute)

T R03 Pocket depth (absolute)

G R06 Milling direction (G02/G03)

Ff R15 Feedrate (pocket surface)

Ft R16 Feedrate (pocket depth)

Mw R22 Centre point of circular pocket (horizontal) (absolute)

Ms R23 Centre point of circular pocket (vertical) (absolute)

(referred to workpiece zero)

R24 Pocket radius

In cycle L930, the cutter radius compensation is deselected (G40). The milling cutter radius is
automatically taken into account and this must be stored in the tool offset memory.

If programs created with UMS 3/60 are used, parameter R04 must be changed to R16, and
setting data 5000 bit 1 must be set to 1.

Zt R01: Infeed depth (incremental)

If the infeed depth is assigned with R1 = 0, the infeed is executed immediately to pocket
depth at the feedrate. If the pocket cannot be milled with a single infeed, an infeed depth must
be entered. The milling process is repeated until the pocket depth is reached. If a residual
infeed depth of less than double R01 results, this is divided into two equal values. Enter the
infeed depth as an incremental value without sign.

G R06: Milling direction (G02/G03)

After the plunge cut into the workpiece, the milling cutter describes a path that runs towards
the outside in a spiral. Program the milling direction (up-cut or down-cut milling) in R06 =
02/03.

2.3 L999 Clear buffer memory

2.3 L999 Clear buffer memory

A series of control signals from the interface control are not registered directly to the working
memory of the NC, but via the buffer memory. These signals (which can be selected, for
example, by M functions) include:

• external additive ZO
• mirroring
• external tool offset

If these functions, which are actuated in the running (active) program, are to be effective in the
block following their selection, the buffer memory must be cleared.
Otherwise, the selected control signal becomes active only several blocks later.
In each program, the buffer memory can be cleared by calling subrouting L999 once.

The program L999 should be defined as follows:

L999
@714 LF
M17 LF

Example: Selection of external tool offset,

e.g. after measurement of the tool

.
.
.
N15 M.. LF PLC removes read-in signal with the help of M function
PLC executes the external tool offset
PLC then gives read-in enable signal again

N20 G04 X.. LF Dwell greater than 1.2 * max. PLC scantime

2.4 L960 Transfer of zero offset groups

2.4 L960 Transfer of zero offset groups 1)

The cycles for transferring zero offset groups are not supplied together with the standard
cycles and must be ordered separately.
L960_EZS
This program makes it possible to store up to 10 zero offset blocks with 5 axes in the
SINUMERIK System 800 and to replace the data of the zero offset memory with these blocks.
This cycle transfers the input buffer parameters (MIB 200 to MIB 399) into the settable ZO
memory coarse (G54 to G57) and vice versa.
The required block is selected via the R0 parameter. The contents of R0 are automatically
stored in MD 18 by cycle L960. The ZO data can either be entered into the MIB parameters by
the program or manually by using the input images. 12344.321 is to be entered for parameter
R0 if transfer from the ZO memory to MIB parameters is selected. The transfer target is
defined by the current MD 18.
L960_RPA
This cycle is used for transferring a maximum of 3 ZO blocks with 5 axes into R parameters
(R240-R299) and vice versa. The parameters are assigned in the system menu image.
Prerequisites:
Both cycles are not processed in SIMULATION.
Special characteristics relevant if L960 is used together with the SIEMENS measuring cycles
are described in the documentation of the measuring cycles.
The following parameters must be defined before calling L960_EZS:
R0=1 Transfer MIB 200 to MIB 219 ZO memory
R0=2 Transfer MIB 220 to MIB 239 ZO memory
:
:
R0=10 Transfer MIB 380 to MIB 399 ZO memory

R0=12344.231 Transfer ZO memory MIB 380 to MIB 399

The current ZO block is specified in NC-MD 18.

The MIB parameters are then reserved for this purpose only.

Programming example:
%MPF123
N5 R0=2 L960 P1 Transfer of the 2nd ZO block MIB 220 to MIB 239 into the ZO memory
:
:
N55 R0=12344.321 L960 P1 Transfer ZO memory MIB 220 to MIB 239

:
