WinMax Lathe Conversational Part Programming v546CO Conversational Part Programming 2-59
These fields are available for programming Hole Cycles:
• TOOL—identifies the tool type and tool number for the current tool number
programmed in Tool Setup that will be used in the part program. The tool
type selected in the block determines the type of hole operation.
• TOOL OFFSETS—identifies the programmed tool offset and orientation
programmed in Tool Setup that will be used. You can accept or change this
offset.
• Z START—defines the point where the tool moves when starting the cycle,
before moving at Rapid to the R Plane.
• R PLANE—defines an absolute position relative to part zero. The cycle will
rapid to this location before feeding to Z Bottom.
• Z BOTTOM—identifies the depth of the hole. This field is automatically
adjusted for the drill tip if YES is selected for Tip Compensation.
• X OFFSET—defines the incremental offset in X from the spindle centerline for
drills that can be plunged off center. This field only appears when the Tool
Type is a Drill and Cycle Type is not Center Drill.
• CYCLE TYPE—accesses the following softkey selections. This field appears
when the tool is a Drill or a Center Drill.
• Standard drilling feeds to depth and retracts at Rapid to the retract
dimension (R-Plane). Standard is the default operation. Refer to Tap Cycle
below for information about the Standard Tap cycle.
• Dwell is drilling 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.
