Hello people

I’ve got a couple of questions about drilling cycles and the Q-parameter 204.

1. Isn’t there a return level absolute such as Q-parameter like the one for Siemens?
2. Why is Q204 incremental?

Greetings

1. no, there isn’t.
2. only the cycle programmer knows that.

But the machine moves to Z200 after each hole due to the line
FN2: Q204 = 200 - Q203

independently of the position of the coordination surface.
You’ll certainly have to adjust 200 to your tool or path. It’s very helpful if one has different surface coordinates on one and the same workpiece.
