7.6 “G83” FRONT DRILLING CYCLE 
Function “G83” activates the front drilling cycle with motor drivel tools. 
With this function the bit makes a series of cuts, of the required size, undercutting or breaking the chips 
and returning at the end of the cycle, in rapid transverse, to the starting point or to point R. 
The front drilling cycle can contain these codes: 
•  Z => Absolute value of end of drilling 
•  F => Drilling feed (expressed in mm/minute) 
• Q => Cut depth (in thousandths) 
• P => Pause at bottom of hole ( in thousandths of seconds) 
•  R => Incremental distance from starting point of cycle to starting point of hole. 
Out of all the parameters described above, the only ones which are compulsory are Z (end of drilling 
value) and F (drilling speed), all the other parameters are only to be programmed if actually used. 
If R parameter is used, the distance between the starting point of cycle and the starting point of hole is 
executed in rapid. Eventual discharges (parameter Q) occur at the starting point of hole, while at the end 
of drilling the tip comes back to the starting point of cycle. 
If P parameter is used the pause is executed only on final point of drilling. 
To leave the drilling cycle function G80 must be programmed, or any G function of the 01 group, i.e. G0, 
G1, G2, or G3.
