Pockets with Islands (G162)
Format: G162 An Bn Cn Dn En
This cycle allows islands in irregular pockets. The main pocket
must the lowest subroutine number. Normally, this would be one
(1). Pockets with Islands can be programmed using:
• DXF (see “Section 17, Using DXF for Pockets with Islands
(G162)”)
• CAM (see “Section 18, Example #12 Using CAM for Pockets
with Islands (G162)”)
• Subroutines
More than one G162 Island cycle can be programmed at a time.
They may be strung together, but on separate lines. Islands can
be programmed inside of islands. Five islands can be put on a
line. The shape number subroutine number is used as inputs..
Refer to
Table 5-21.
Activate a tool prior to programming G78, so cutter diameter is
known.

D Fourth island. Optional.
E Fifth island. Optional.
Using Subroutines for Pockets with Islands
The program below is the same one used in the DXF portion with
subroutines added for the letters. In the third G162 some of the
numbers have negative sign (-) in front of them, this changes the
side of the cutter comp for the islands in islands. See Figure 5-

Thread Mill Cycle (G181)
Format: G181 Xn Yn Zn Hn Pn Dn Cn Bn Rn Sn En Jn Kn Vn
WARNING: The first move in this cycle is a rapid move to the
center of the thread before moving the Z axis. Make sure the
tool is properly located before calling up this cycle.
Use the thread milling for cutting inside or outside threads. It will
cut either Inch or MM, left or right hand, and Z movement up or
down. A single tooth or multi-toothed tool may be used. Start can
be at the top or bottom of the hole or boss. The tools are set, as
you would normally set TLO.
Programming the Thread Mill Cycle
To program the Thread Mill Cycle:
1. In Edit mode, press Help (F1), select PATHS from the menu,
then “THREAD MILL” to display the G181 Thread Mill pop-up
menu (refer to Figure 5-20).
2. Complete the entry fields (refer to Table 5-28, G181 Address
Words), and press EXIT (F10).
Depending on the parameters used and their values, when cutting
a thread, the tool can ramp into the cut as illustrated in Figure 5-
20. See Table 5-28, G181 Address Words.

THREADMILLPU

Figure 5-20, Thread Mill Pop-up Menu

 Table 5-28 describes the Thread Mill Cycle entry fields.
Table 5-28, G181 Address Words
Address
Word Description
X Absolute X coordinate of the center of the thread. If no coordinate is entered,
the CNC puts the center of thread at the current tool position. (Optional)
Y Absolute Y coordinate of the center of the thread. If no coordinate is entered,
the CNC puts the center of thread at the current tool position. (Optional)
Z Absolute Z position where the thread cut will finish. This can be above or below
the start position depending on the direction of the thread cut: up or down.
(Required)
H Absolute Z position where the thread cut starts. This can be above or below the
finish position depending on the direction of the thread cut, up or down. If not
set, cycle will use the current Z tool position. (Optional)
P An Absolute safe Z position above the part for rapid moves in X and/or Y.
(Required)
Warning: P must be above the part to avoid a crash while positioning.
D Major thread Diameter. If this is a tapered thread, it is the major diameter at the
Z start position. Hence, if you have a tapered hole and you start at the top and
cut down, you would have a different major diameter than if you started at the
bottom and cut up. A plus (+) value cuts in the CW direction and a minus (-)
value cuts in the CCW direction. (Required)
C Depth of thread. The incremental depth of thread on one side. A plus (+) value
is inside thread, a minus (-) value is outside thread. (Required)
B Threads per inch (TPI) or lead of thread in MM. Note: The minimum number of
threads per inch is “1”. (Required)
R Size of radius arcing into start of thread. (Optional)
Note: If R is a positive value or not set and the thread is “inside”, the cycle will
always return to the center between passes.
If R is a negative value, the cutter will move to the start or end point that is
closest to the center if inside thread, and farthest away from center if outside
thread.
If R is not specified at all and the thread is outside, the cutter will back away from
the largest diameter by an amount equal to the thread depth.
S Amount to leave for a finish pass after the roughing passes. (Optional)
E Number of roughing cuts to be taken. (Optional)
Note: If “Stock” is not set or set to zero and E is 1 or 0, the cycle will make just
one pass at the full depth.
If “Stock” is set to greater than zero and E is 1 or 0, the cycle will make one pass
at the stock depth and one pass at full thread depth.
Note: If you would like all non-cutting positioning moves to be rapid, set E to a
negative number.

Table 5-28, G181 Address Words
Address
Word Description
J Feedrate for roughing. (If not set (blank), the cycle will use the current active
feedrate) (Optional)
K Feedrate for the finish pass. (If not set (blank), the cycle will use the current
active feedrate) (Optional)
V Angle on one side of the thread, (not the included angle). The angle is
measured from the right side going counter clockwise with a positive number and
clockwise with a negative number. A standard pipe tape with an inside cut would
be -1.7833. If not set (blank), than the thread is straight. (Optional)
Tool Length Offset is set the same as with any other tool or
operation. A tool diameter also has to be set in the tool table, as
cutter compensation is built into this cycle (cutter compensation is
not allowed during the use of this cycle).
If X and Y are not programmed, position tool center of the thread
before the G181 line:
• X and Y will rapid to the starting position of the thread.
• Z will rapid to the safe height specified in “P”.
• The Z axis will feed down to the start cut position “H”. This
could be above or below the Z position specified in the “Z”
finish position.
• Depending on what is in the “R” parameter the tool will arc into
the first cut position.
• Spiral up or down, depending on the difference between “Z”
and “H” and go counterclockwise or clockwise depending if “D”
is plus or minus.
• Then arc-out and feed to the thread center for inside threads
or a safe distance away from the thread for outside threads
depending on the value in “R”.
• Then feed back to the “H” height.
• Then feed X and Y to the next depth of cut. The depth of each
roughing pass will be the thread depth specified in the “C”
parameter minus the stock amount specified in the “S”
parameter, divided by the number of roughing passes
specified in the “E” parameter.
• The cycle repeats this process until the final finish pass.
• It will then cut the thread at the full thread major diameter.
When cutting a taper on an inside thread, care should be taken.
An error will be generated if the diameter on the small end of the
taper becomes too small for the tool to fit along with arc in and out
moves. Not entering and arc-in value in the “R” parameter will
allow the cycle to move to the center of the hole for maximum
clearance.

With a cutter diameter of 0.625, this program will cut a 1-8 inside
thread at X0 Y0. The tool will spiral down the thread pitch of 8
threads per inch, finishing at a depth of –1. The starting height is
0.1, the safe rapid Z height is 0.5, the major thread diameter is 1
inch, and depth of thread is 0.0625. The arc-in radius is 0.1 and
the stock amount for the finish pass is 0.002. The rough feedrate
is 20.0 and the finish feedrate is 5.0.
Note: If you would like all non-cutting positioning moves to be
rapid, set “E” to a negative number. The idea is to
initially set “E” as a positive number and after proving out
the program, change “E” to a negative number for faster
production. If you only need one pass to size and you
want the positioning moves to be rapid, set “E” to -1.

To COPY program files to the A: (Floppy Disk) when using the CAM

When using the CAM Editor to write programs the 5000M system will create additional program files, and
ALL these files MUST BE COPIED to ensure correct operation of the program.
The program name to which the CAM is to be associated MUST be High lighted prior to entering CAM or
(F4 from the Program Directory). this program will have extension of .G
The correct program must be high light because upon entering the CAM , the system creates a file with
the same name as the program but with an extension of .CAM and also a file with the extension of .GEO
These files are used to record the CAM (.CAM file) settings inside the CAM and also to record the
GEOMETRICAL ELEMENTS created (.GEO file).

Once a Shape has been created a 3rd file is also created, this file will have an extension of .1
NOTE: If more than one Shape is created the shape files will have extensions of .2 .3 etc. assigned in
the order in which they were created.

Example: original program PROGRAM.G
