G32 – Threading Cycle

The G32 command is used on lathe machines to perform a threading cycle that is synchronised with the spindle.

 

Taper threading is not supported when using the G32 command.

 


Syntax & Parameters

 

The Z value is required and defines the end position of the Z axis for the threading operation. The distance value uses the current machine units.

 

The F value is required and defines the thread pitch. The distance value uses the current machine units.

 


Example Program

 

N10 G21
N20 G00 Z0
N30 G32 Z-10 F1.5

 

Explanation:
The first line sets the machine units to millimetres.
The second line moves the Z axis to Z0.00 millimetres.
The third line starts the threading cycle and cuts a thread to Z-10 millimetres with a 1.5 millimetre pitch.

 

 

INFORMATION: Units are defined as either inches or millimetres, depending on the machine setup or whether G20 or G21 is active.
