Re: [mfg-smartcam] Peck Drilling

[Jeff]

Randall, I use the method below for all the machines in our shop.   @OP_PDRL #EVAL(#U18=#TABLE(PECK_CODES,#CYCLE)) < #RTNLVL>< G#U18>< X#XPOS>< Y#YPOS>< Z#ZDPTH>< R#CLEAR>< Q#PECK>< F#FEED>   This is what is in the post for the machine and you set the value for the peck depth in the job plan in the peck increment box when setting up the tool. Say you have a peck depth of .500 for this drill as the default peck depth but for some reason you need to change it to .100 for a certain situation to break the chip better when following a smaller drill into the same hole then you would add a user event just before the hole of #PECK=.1. I also use the CYCLE 1 or 2 for G73 or G83 depending on the situation.    It would look like this:   HOLE HOLE HOLE #PECK=.1 HOLE #PECK=.5 HOLE HOLE   The code would look like this:   G00 X___ Y___ G43 Z1.0 H01 M08 G98 G83 R0.0 Z-1.750 Q0.5 F14.0 X___ Y___ Z-2.312 X___ Y___ Z-1.845 X___ Y___ Z-1.258 Q0.1 X___ Y___ Z-3.185 Q0.5 X___ Y___ Z-2.568   I have also used: #IF(#TLDIA>.55)<#EVAL(#V6=#TLDIA/3)> #ELSE<#EVAL(#V6=#TLDIA/2)> <#ABSI>< #FXD>< X#XPOS>< Y#YPOS>< Z#ZDPTH R#ZCHK Q#V6>< F#FEED>   Hope this information helps in your peck drilling quest.   Jeff Pieper Pieper CNC Programming & Design     ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 10:14 AM Subject: [mfg-smartcam] Peck Drilling Hi everyone; I am using aturn V10, and want to know if there is a way to change the amount of pecks smart cam does. I want less pecks than what it does. Any help on this would be appreciated.
