Lathe Chamfer Parameters
Introduction
This topic will explain the Parameters page of the Lathe Chamfer operation and all the options found in it. This topic will also provide a link to the next topic.
The Parameters page
The Parameters page of the Lathe Chamfer operation contains the variables needed for the feature.
Operation Parameters
- Chamfer Depth - is the total depth from the Top Of the Part.
Cycle Type
- Single Depth -
outputs a G81.
- Peck
- outputs a G83. The First Peck (%) parameter (Cutting
Conditions dialog box) allows the system to automatically
apply a peck cycle based on material selected and the depth of the
hole. For example, if the value of First Peck (%) is set to 300 percent,
the system outputs a G81 until the depth of the hole is 3 times the
diameter of the drill. When the First Peck (%) is met, the system
outputs the G83 cycle.
- Fast
Peck - outputs a G73. The First Peck (%) parameter (Cutting
Conditions dialog box) allows the system to automatically apply a
peck cycle based on material selected and the depth of the hole. For
example, if the value of First Peck (%) is set to 300 percent, the
system outputs a G81 until the depth of the hole is 3 times the diameter
of the drill. When the First Peck (%) is met, the system outputs the
G73 cycle.
- Override Auto Peck
Select the check box to enter the following peck values.
Clear the check box to use the calculated peck values.- First Peck Depth - the first peck depth in the peck cycle.
- Peck Depth - the depth of the peck.
- Number of Pecks - sets the amount of pecks that occur.
- First Peck Depth - the first peck depth in the peck cycle.
- Override Auto Peck
