What is G72 in CNC?

G72 is our G-Code that tells the machine that we wish to use the roughing facing cycle that cuts towards the centreline of the part. The ‘W’ on the first line is the depth of cut in Z-axis. The’ R’ refers to the distance that the tool pulls off of the material when moving in rapid to the next starting point.

What is a G72 canned cycle?

G72 Tool Path: [P] Starting block, [1] Start position, [Q] Ending block. This canned cycle removes material on a part given the finished part shape. It is similar to G71 but removes material along the face of a part. Define the shape of a part by programming the finished tool path and then use the G72 PQ block.

What is G71 in G-Code?

F – FEED RATE. G71 is our G-Code that lets the controls know that we wish to use a roughing cycle and that the following information applies to that. The U on the first line of code is the depth of cut of each roughing pass.

What is g94 code?

This code deactivates G93 (Inverse Time Feed Mode) and returns the control to Feed Per Minute mode.

What is the meaning of G90?

Absolute positioning
G90 Absolute positioning The G Code G90 is used to define the absolute positioning system. When G90 is active the machine will read all dimensions and movements from the working datum position. If we were to issue a movement command such as G00 X100.

What is G97 code?

This commands the control to NOT adjust the spindle speed based on the diameter of cut and cancels any G96 command. When G97 is in effect, any S command is revolutions per minute (RPM).

What is the difference between G90 and G91?

G-code has two positioning modes: G91 is incremental, while G90 is absolute.

What is the G72 code on a CNC lathe?

G72 Cycle is a CNC code and used to facing (face turning) in CNC Lathe machines, in other words cutting parallel to the X-axis. G72 CNC code is one of the most commonly used CNC Turning cycles.

What do you use the G72 cycle for?

It is used for roughing of a solid cylinder, using a series of vertical cuts (face cuts). The G72 Cycle generally processes the profile to be processed with the tolerances you specified in the program, and then finish with the G70 Finishing Cycle.

What are the commands for the G72 roughing cycle?

Any F, S or T commands on the G72 line or in effect at the time of the G72 is used throughout the G72 roughing cycle. Usually a G70 call to the same PQ block definition is used to finish the shape.

When to use a G70 or a G72?

Usually a G70 call to the same PQ block definition is used to finish the shape. Two types of machining paths are addressed with a G72 command. The first type of path (Type 1) is when the Z Axis of the programmed path does not change direction.
