    CNC Canned Cycles

    Canned cycles are predefined machining operations in CNC programming that simplify complex operations like drilling, tapping, boring, and pocket milling into single or series of commands. Common canned cycles include drilling, tapping, and boring cycles that automatically position the tool, control depths and speeds, and retract the tool. Pocket milling cycles machine closed pockets by specifying the geometry and cutting parameters. Using canned cycles saves time and reduces errors compared to manually programming each step of complex operations.

    Canned cycles, also known as fixed cycles or pre-programmed cycles, are a set of

    predefined machining operations that are commonly used in CNC (Computer Numerical
    Control) programming. These cycles simplify the programming process by
    encapsulating complex machining operations into a single command or series of
    commands. Canned cycles are designed to efficiently perform common operations such
    as drilling, tapping, peck drilling, boring, and pocket milling.

    Here are a few examples of commonly used canned cycles:

    Drilling Cycle (G81): The drilling cycle is used for drilling holes in a workpiece.
    The parameters typically include the position of the hole, the depth of the hole,
    and the feed rate. The machine will automatically position the tool, feed it into
    the workpiece to the specified depth, retract the tool, and move to the next
    drilling location if multiple holes are specified.

    Tapping Cycle (G84): The tapping cycle is used for creating threaded holes in a
    workpiece. It involves positioning the tap at the hole, synchronizing the spindle
    rotation with the feed rate, and controlling the depth and pitch of the thread. The
    machine will automatically perform the tapping operation, retract the tap, and move
    to the next tapping location if required.

    Boring Cycle (G76): The boring cycle is used for enlarging existing holes or
    creating cylindrical features with a larger diameter. It involves specifying the
    initial and final hole diameters, the cutting depth, and the feed rate. The machine
    will automatically perform the boring operation, retract the tool, and move to the
    next position if multiple boring operations are specified.

    Pocket Milling Cycle (G73): The pocket milling cycle is used for machining closed
    pockets or cavities in a workpiece. It involves specifying the pocket geometry,
    including the start and end positions, the pocket dimensions, and the cutting
    parameters. The machine will automatically perform the pocket milling operation,
    following the specified pocket geometry, and retract the tool at the end.

    By using canned cycles, CNC programmers can save time and effort by avoiding the
    need to manually program each individual step of complex machining operations.
    Canned cycles not only simplify programming but also help in maintaining
    consistency and reducing the chances of errors. It is important to consult the
    machine's documentation or programming manual to understand the specific canned
    cycles supported by the CNC control system being used, as the available cycles and
    their syntax may vary between different machines and controllers.
