Canned Cycles
What Are Canned Cycles
Canned cycles are G-Code commands that take certain repetitive machining tasks and break them into their logical elementary parameters.
For instance: a Peck Drilling Cycle
Instead of issuing commands for each movement of the tool, the programmer can ask for a peck cycle and just give the hole depth and peck distance.
G83 Peck Drilling
Also takes G98/G99
G98 retracts to last Z start
G99 retracts to R plane
Peck Parameters
Q - Constant Peck Amount (always incremental)
Or
I - First Peck
J - Reduction per pass
K - Minimum
Modal
NOTE: Canned cycles are modal. They will stay active until cancelled.
Z0.5
G81 X1.0 Y1.0 R0.1 Z-1.0 F50. G98 ←Hole 1
X3.0 ←Hole 2
X2.0 Y2.0 ←Hole 3
G80
G98/G99 Option
G98 is active by default
G99 must be specified

Lathe Canned Cycles
G71 - Stock Removal Cycle
D - Depth of cut for each pass
F - Feed rate to use within the PQ block
I - X Axis roughing allowance
K - Z Axis roughing allowance
P - Starting block number of path to rough
Q - Ending block number of path to rough
S - Spindle speed to use within the PQ block
T - Tool and offset to use within the PQ block
U - X Axis finish allowance
W - Z Axis finish allowance
HAAS Example (see lathe manual p.208)
Another example
G53
G53 refers to the machine CSYS.
But it is TEMPORARY
(non-modal)
Type I and II Cycles
Type I - Monotonic
Can not have increasing/decreasing x values
Type II - Nonmonotonic
Can not have increasing/decreasing x values
First block with X only is Type I
First block with X and Z is Type II

One Caveat:
Be sure your code works for ALL cases.
For example: If a user enters .5, the code generated may be:
G1 X0.5 ← OK!
But if they enter 1.0, the code generated may be:
G1 X1 ← WRONG!

In the absence of detector arrays, a single pixel coupled with a spatially selective mask has been shown to be a practical solution to imaging problems in the terahertz and sub-millimeter wave domains. In this paper we demonstrate real-time two-dimensional imager for sub-millimeter waves that is based on a spatially selective image plane mask. The imager consists of a heterodyne source and receiver pair, image forming optics, a spatially selective mask, data acquisition hardware, and image reconstruction software. The optics form an image onto the spatially selective mask and linear measurements of the image are made. The mask must be designed to ensure maximum transmission, measurement linearity, and measurement to measurement independence and our design parameters are presented.
