All CNC machine tools have, as part of the programming facility within the controller, the feature of executing machine canned cycles and/or sub-programs or macro routines. These are built into the controller’s computer software and make it easy to program routine machining sequences. Such routines are drilling, tapping, spot-facing and area clearance for square pockets, circular pockets and boring cycles. The difference between the two is that a canned cycle is inherent within the control system and usually cannot be changed or re-programmed, whereas a macro is a separate program generated by the programmer and inserted within the main program or, in the case of some controls, stored apart from the main program text.
