Fanuc G86 Boring Cycle

G86 boring cycle is used to bore a hole.

Syntax

G86 X... Y... Z... R... F... K...
ParameterDescription
XHole position in x-axis.
YHole position in y-axis.
ZDepth, tapping from R-plane to Z-depth.
RPosition of the R plane.
KNumber of cycle repetitions (if required) .
FFeedrate.

Once given in program G86 boring cycle is repeated at every axis movement until G80 is given in program to end this cycle.

Working

Brief description of how G86 boring cycle works,

G86 boring cycle working

G86 boring cycle working

1- Rapid traverse to X, Y position.
2- Rapid traverse to R-plane.
3- Boring with feed from R-plane to Z-depth.
4- Spindle stop at bottom of the hole.
5-1- Rapid traverse to R-plane (G99) or Initial-level (G98)
5-2- Spindle start CW

G98 G99 Modes

How G86 boring cycle behaves upon G98 or G99 mode,

G98 Boring tool will return to the Initial level
G99 Boring tool will return to R-plane.

For a working example see G81 drilling cycle.

Repeat Drilling

If K parameter value is given with G86 boring cycle, then boring will repeat the number of times given with K. See G81 drilling cycle example.
