Introduction of G71
It is a canned cycle- multiple cut cycle. G71 cycle is a stock removal cycle, removing stock material from work piece performing turning operations ( turning operations- feed against 'Z' axis reducing diameter )
Turning cycle- G71
Turning cycle - G71 This cycle generates a part shape from a cylindrical raw material, with cuts along the
axis. The cycle definition has the part shape, depth of cut, finish allowance and couple of other parameters.
Cycle format
G71 U(D) R
G71 P (NO.1) Q(NO.2) U(u) W(w) F
N(NO.1)_ _ _ _
Cutting address (shape definition)
N(NO.2)_ _ _ _ _
U(D) = Depth of cut, radius value
R = Retract amount, radius value
P=Number of the first block of the shape
Q=Number of the last block of the shape
U(u) = Finishing allowance in X, diameter value
W = Finishing allowance in Z
F= Feed rate
The blocks after the second G71 block define the part contour.
Parameter P has the number of the first block N(No.1) and has the last block N(No.2)
G71 Turning Cycle Overview
- G71 turning cycle cuts the whole contour repeatedly which is given in P Q blocks.
- Depth of every cut can be controlled by first-block U value.
- Second-block U W are the finishing allowances which can be given if you want to make a finish cut with G70 finishing cycle.
- F is cutting feed and S is spindle speed (given in second-block) which are used during G71 turning cycle.
Note – The F and S given inside P Q block will not be used during G71 turning cycle, they are used with G70 finishing cycle if later called.
