Through/centering hole

In the case of a thorough/centering hole, the tool drills to the specified machining depth at the selected spindle speed and feed rate G01. The hole is produced in one operation down to the final drilling depth. After that, the tool returns to the specified retraction plane after expiry of an optionally programmed dwell time for chip breaking in the rapid traversing mode G00.

The following parameters are required for calling of a thorough/centering hole:

Cycle parameters

Description

@P1

Retraction plane (absolut)

@P2

Reference plane (absolut)

@P3

Safety clearance (relative to the reference plane, unsigned)

@P4

Final drilling depth (absolute) or...

@P5

...Final drilling depth (relative to the reference plane, unsigned)

@P6 (optional)

Dwell time at final drilling depth

@P10

Machining direction (for offsetting the safety clearance)
