Canned Cycles
All ANILAM controls have a set of canned cycles. These are programming shortcuts for common machining tasks. The machinist is prompted for a few dimensions and the control will automatically generate the whole cycle. The result is easier and faster programming.
To view specific screen shot examples of canned cycles, please click on the headings below.
