3.1

General information

The following sections describe how milling cycles are
programmed.
This section is intended to guide you in selecting cycles
and assigning them with parameters. In addition to a
detailed description of the function of the individual
cycles and the corresponding parameters, you will also
find a sample program at the end of each section to
familiarize you with the use of cycles.
The Sections are structured as follows:
• Programming
• Parameters
• Function
• Sequence of operations
• Explanation of parameters
• Additional notes
• Sample program.
"Programming" and "Parameters" explain the use of
cycles sufficiently for the experienced user, whereas
beginners can find all the information they need for
programming cycles under "Function", "Sequence of
operations", "Explanation of parameters", "Additional
notes" and the "Sample program".
