8.1.3 Drilling (CYCLE82)
Function
With the "Drilling" function, the tool drills with the programmed spindle speed and feedrate
down to the specified final drilling depth (shank or tip).
The tool is retracted after a programmed dwell time has elapsed.
Approach/retraction
1. The tool moves with G0 to safety clearance of the reference point.
2. The tool is inserted into the workpiece with G1 and the programmed feedrate F until it
reaches the programmed final depth Z1.
3. When a dwell time DT expires, the tool is retracted at rapid traverse G0 to the retraction
plane.
Procedure
1. The part program or ShopMill program to be processed has been
created and you are in the editor.
2. Press the "Drilling" softkey.
3. Press the "Drilling Reaming" softkey.
4. Press the "Drilling" softkey.
The "Drilling" input window opens.
