Cutting Ensat inserts

Question:

How can I cut Ensat inserts with a TNC? Different pitches are necessary for the plunging cuts and retraction cuts.

Answer:

Cycle 18 THREAD CUTTING is performed by means of spindle control. The tool moves from its current position to the entered depth. As soon as it reaches the end of thread, spindle rotation is stopped. The tool can then be moved out again with a second cycle definition (with a different pitch).
