Refer to your machine manual.

Machine and control must be specially prepared by the machine manufacturer for use of this cycle.

Software option Turning (#50 / #4-03-1) must have been enabled.

Milling and turning operations allow complete machining of a workpiece on one machine, even if complex turning operations are required.

Programming is always done in the ZX working plane. The machine axes to be used for the required movements depend on the respective machine kinematics and are determined by the machine manufacturer. This makes NC programs with turning functions largely exchangeable and independent of the machine model.

Depending on the machining direction and task, turning applications are subdivided into different production processes. The control provides the following cycle groups for turning:

  • Longitudinal turning
  • Face turning
  • Recess turning
  • Recessing
  • Thread turning
  • Simultaneous turning
  • Milling gears
