 FIXED CYCLES OR CANNED CYCLES

Cycles are referred to repetitive program sequences commonly used In machining operations
that makes easier programming.
• Canned cycles or Fixed cycles: They are an inbuilt feature of the CNC usually
permanently stored as a pre-program and cannot be altered by the user (G80-G89)
• User-defined cycles or Sub-routines: They are created when the necessary fixed
cycle is not available.
