Danger of collision!
If the spindle was switched on before the start of this cycle, Cycle 18 will switch it off and the cycle will execute with a stationary spindle! At the end, Cycle 18 will switch the spindle on again if it was on before the start of the cycle.
- Before starting this cycle, be sure to program a spindle stop! (For example with M5)
- At the end of Cycle 18, the control restores the spindle to its state at cycle start. This means that if the spindle was switched off before this cycle, the control will switch it off again at the end of Cycle 18.
