Cycle 9 DWELL TIME

ISO programming

G4

Application

 
Tip

You can execute this cycle in the following operating modes: FUNCTION MODE MILL.

Execution of the program run is delayed by the programmed DWELL TIME. A dwell time can be used for purposes such as chip breaking.

The cycle takes effect as soon as it has been defined in the NC program. Modal conditions such as spindle rotation are not affected.

Dwell time in secs.?

Enter the dwell time in seconds.

Input: 0...3600 s (1 hour) in steps of 0.001 seconds

NC programs contained in this User's Manual are suggestions for solutions. The NC programs or individual NC blocks must be adapted before being used on a machine.

Change the following contents as needed:

  • Tools
  • Cutting parameters
  • Feed rates
  • Clearance height or safe position
  • Machine-specific positions (e.g., with M91)
  • Paths of program calls

Some NC programs depend on the machine kinematics. Adapt these NC programs to your machine kinematics before the first test run.

In addition, test the NC programs using the simulation before the actual program run.

 
Tip

With a program test you determine whether the NC program can be used with the available software options, the active machine kinematics and the current machine configuration.
