• PLUNGE FEED—contains the feedrate between the Z START and Z BOTTOM
positions. “CAL” appears next to the value as calculated by the control. You
can accept or change this value. If you edit this field, “CAL” disappears.
• CYCLE TYPE—accesses the cycle types. Refer to Tap Cycle below for
information about the Standard Tap cycle.
• Standard drilling feeds to depth and retracts at Rapid to the retract
dimension (R-Plane). Standard is the default operation.
• Dwell drills with a dwell at the bottom.
• Peck Drilling feeds to a peck depth and retracts at Rapid to the Retract
dimension (R-Plane).
• Chip Breaker feeds to a peck depth, retracts at Rapid a short distance,
then feeds to the next peck depth. This is repeated until the programmed
depth is achieved.
• Center Drill cycle creates a pilot hole. You can use a center drill or a
standard drilling hole to perform this operation.
• Decreasing Peck Drilling Depth (Decr Depth) cycle feeds to the
programmed First Peck Depth, then continues cutting a decreasing
amount to the Minimum Peck by the peck percent each pass until it
reaches the programmed Minimum Peck Depth or Z Bottom.
• Decreasing Chip Breaker (Decr Chp Bkr) cycle feeds to the
programmed First Peck Depth, retracts at Rapid a short distance, then
feeds to the next peck depth, cutting a decreasing amount to the
minimum peck by the peck percent each pass until it reaches the
programmed Minimum Peck Depth or Z Bottom. This is repeated until the
programmed depth is achieved.
Drilling Operation
These fields appear for performing drilling operations based on the Cycle Type selection:
• DWELL TIME (SEC)—specifies the time in seconds the Z axis dwells after
the cycle reaches Z Bottom and before retracting at Rapid. This field appears
when ether Dwell or Center Drill is selected for the Cycle Type.
• PECK DEPTH—defines the maximum depth to be cut in one pass. This field
appears when either Peck, Chip Breaker, Decreasing Depth, or Decreasing
Chip Breaker is selected for the Cycle Type.
• FINAL PECK DEPTH—defines the maximum depth to be cut in the final
pass. This field appears when either Decreasing Depth or Decreasing Chip
Breaker is selected for the Cycle Type.
• PECK PERCENT—defines the percent of the First Peck Depth. For example, if
the Peck Percent is set at 50, subsequent pecks will equal a distance 50%
smaller than the previous peck depth. A Minimum Peck Depth must be set in
order for the tool to reach Z Bottom. This field appears when either
Decreasing Depth or Decreasing Chip Breaker is selected for the Cycle Type
• PECK COUNT—displays the number of pecks that will occur. This read-only
field appears when either Peck, Chip Breaker, Decreasing Depth, or
Decreasing Chip Breaker is selected for the Cycle Type.
