Z repeat Pocket

This cycle is used to program closed pockets that can be machined with a repeat of Z passes.

• The generation of subprograms is possible with this cycle. The toolpaths generated are strictly the same for each Z step. The pocket has to be closed with no island or sub pocket.

• Canned cycle codes can also be generated for circles, oblongs, and similar geometries.

• Consequently, in case of islands and/or sub pockets, it is advised to choose the Pocket cycle.
