VARI (machining type)

With parameter VARI, you define if machining is to
be internal or external and with which technology the
infeed will be machined during roughing. The
parameter VARI can be one of the values between 1
and 4 with the following meaning:
Value Outside/inside
1
Outside
2
Inside
3
Outside
4
Inside
If another value has been programmed for
parameter VARI, the cycle is aborted after alarm
61002 "Machining type incorrectly defined" is output.

NUMT (number)

With parameter NUMT you specify the number of
thread starts for a multiple thread. If you require a single
thread, either assign the value zero to the parameter or
omit it from the parameter list.
The thread starts are distributed uniformly around the
circumference of the turned part, the first thread is
defined in parameter NSP.
If a multiple-start thread with a non-uniform distribution
of threads around the circumference is to be machined,
the cycle must be called for every thread start and the
corresponding starting point offset must be
programmed.
