The DRILLING menu in KipwareT® gives the user the ability to create G code for a simple spot drill to a complex drilling operation with up to (3) different cycles.
Start with the CYCLE SELECTION area and select 1, 2 or 3 cycles ... and the compatible areas and fields will become available. Each cycle can be built with it's own specific parameters.
Cycle #1
1)Can be peck drilling or straight drilling. If the depth of peck equals the depth, straight drilling will occur.
2)The output can be using a canned cycle or long hand G code
3)RPM and Feedrate can be programmed for this cycle as well.
Cycle #2 & Cycle #3
1)Can be peck drilling or straight drilling. If the depth of peck equals the depth, straight drilling will occur.
2)Cycle can be a simple chip break if that box is ticked, the amount of retract being entered in the Return / Retract Clearance or Complete Retraction if that box is ticked.
3)Different RPM and Feedrates can be programmed for each cycle if required.
4)Cycle #2 and Cycle #3 will always result in long hand G code ... regardless of the selection made in Cycle #1
