The programming format for G32 requires at least four blocks of input for a single thread pass from a start position:. G76 is a multiple repetitive cycle for threading, and is the most common method used to generate most of thread forms. Similar to roughing cycles, G76 is programmed in two versions, depending on the control system used.
For older controls, a one-block format is used, for newer controls a two-block format is used. The two-block format offers additional settings that are not available in the one-block method. Two Block Cycle : The two-block G76 format includes several additional programmable features that make the cycle more flexible. For a two-block G76 cycle, the format is:.
Digits 3 and 4 - number of leads for gradual pull-out 0. Digits 5 and 6 - angle of thread 00, 29, 30, 55, 60, 80 degrees only. They have their own meaning, applied within each block only. The G76 threading cycle is used to program the majority of CNC thread cutting operations.
Several of parameters of the G76 cycle can be changed at the machine to optimize the threading operation. Example : The code block for cutting an external thread on 2-inch diameter, 12 threads per inch, using tool number 6 to the length of 1.
Threads with more than one start can be programmed using either G32 or G76 threading commands. The lead and feed rate for multi-start threads is always the number of starts times the pitch. For example, a triple start thread with the pitch of 0.
In order to achieve proper distribution of each start around the cylinder, each thread has to start at an equal angle, determined by the following calculation:. To achieve this angular spacing, the Z-axis point for each start must be one pitch further than the previous start:.

Second block — also must start with G Both methods use the G76 command and contain information that tells the machine controls the details of the thread that we wish to cut. Thread cutting can also be performed using a G32 G Code and G We will take a look at how these works along with the more common G The X dimension is the core diameter of the thread, the distance between the bottom of the thread tooth to the centreline multiplied by 2.
The Z dimension is the distance to the end of the thread from the datum position. We are assuming that the datum is on the front face of the part on our example. We often need to add a taper to be able to cut a parallel thread especially if it is a long thread on a small diameter.
This is due to the material reflecting. This is adjusted during setup if the thread gauge is tight or lose at one end of the thread. This value can also be used to cut a tapered thread if required. The 'K' Value is used to tell the controls the depth of the tooth of the thread. This information can be found in thread charts such as the charts available in my free ebook.
When using a single line G76 the controls work this out using built-in functions. For example, A standard metric thread is 60 degrees while an imperial BSF thread would be 55 degrees.
