CYCLE98 Introduction
With CYCLE98, you can produce several concatenated cylindrical or tapered threads with a constant pitch in longitudinal or face machining, all of which can have different thread pitches.
The thread can be single or multiple. With multiple threads, the individual thread turns are machined one after the other.
Infeed is automatic. You can select either constant infeed per cut or constant cross-section of cut. Right-hand or left hand thread is determined by the direction of rotation of the spindle which must be programmed prior to the cycle start.
Neither feedrate nor spindle override have any effect in thread travel blocks. The spindle override must not be changed during thread machining.

CYCLE98 Examples
CYCLE98 CNC Program Example – 1
With this program, you can produce a chain of threads, starting with a cylindrical thread. The infeed is performed vertically to the thread; neither finishing allowance, nor starting point offset are programmed. Five roughing cuts and one non cut are performed. The machining type is defined as longitudinal, external, with constant cross-section of cut.
