The numbers in the fields on the screen correspond to the following example, shown here graphically:
Where:
Position: Specifies the X and Y coordinates where the boring will take place. If either the X or Y coordinate is an
incremental value, you will have the option to bore multiple holes in a linear pattern. (See Canned Cycle Introduction
#2)
Surface Height: Absolute Z-axis position from where each incremental depth is measured.
Clearance Height: This parameter specifies the Z-axis height used when performing rapid moves to the position of
each hole being drilled.
'Rapid To' Depth: The depth to which the cutter rapid moves before beginning to drill the hole at the specified Plunge
Rate. This is below the Clearance Height but above the Surface Height.
Hole Depth: Depth of hole (incremental) as measured from Surface Height.
Plunge Rate: Z-axis speed of descent during drilling.
The plunge rate can be toggled to modal, fixed or slave, this is indicated by the symbol beside the plunge rate field. If
the plunge rate is modal then it will have the “M” symbol or if it is fixed it will have the “F” symbol . The slave
plunge rate has no symbol and is set to the last modal plunge rate set in the program, when the modal plunge rate
changes all the following slave plunge rates change until the next modal plunge rate is encountered.
Dwell Time: Delay at bottom of hole before starting ascent.
