I've never attempted a canned drilling cycle before and the big yellow book seems to be confusing me more than helping me. Can anyone give me a straight forward example of a G83 canned cycle for Fanuc control, from start to finish. I would really appreciate any help, thanks.

Mill or lathe?

[tobyaxis]

Read this, it will help. G83 is the same for a Lathe or Mill. The only exception is that unless you have a Mill/Turn your only going to program X0.0 and a Z Depth for a 2 Axis Lathe.

The Mill is a XY location and a Z Depth.

G90 G0 X0 Y0
G83 Z-.5 R.1 Q.1 F12.

X0 Y0 Location
Z-.5 in depth
R.1 is the return point after each peck
Q.1 is the Peck amount
F12. is the feed rate at 12 Inches Per Minute

Oh yes I forget to mention that it's for a lathe. Thank you for the responses I really appreciate the help.

Oh and I also forgot to mention that I'm not using live tooling.

That means that you will be using this format

G0G40G99M5
G28U0W0

N2(DRILL)
T202M8
G97S700M3
G0X0Z.1
G83 Z-.5 R.1 Q.1 F.007
G80
G28U0W0
T200M9
M1

X0 Location center of stock
Z-.5 in depth
R.1 is the return point after each peck
Q.1 is the Peck amount
F.007 is the feed rate at .007 Inches Per Revolution

On a lathe you can use either G99 (Inches per Rev) or G98 (Inches Per Minute)

Be careful when switching between IPR and IPM. The wrong designation will surely cause problems.
