4.2.5 End Face Peck Drilling Cycle (G74)
This cycle enables chip breaking in outer diameter cutting. If the
second axis on the plane (X-axis (U-axis) for the ZX plane) and
address P are omitted, operation is performed only along the first axis
on the plane (Z-axis for the ZX plane), that is, a peck drilling cycle is
performed.
Format
G74R (e) ;
G74X(U)_ Z(W)_ P(∆i) Q(∆k) R(∆d) F (f ) ;
e : Return amount
This designation is modal and is not changed until
the other value is designated. Also this value can be
specified by the parameter No. 5139, and the
parameter is changed by the program command.
X_,Z_ : Coordinate of the second axis on the plane (X-axis
for the ZX plane) at point B and
Coordinate of the first axis on the plane (Z-axis for
the ZX plane) at point C
U_,W_ : Travel distance along the second axis on the plane
(U for the ZX plane) from point A to B
Travel distance along the first axis on the plane (W
for the ZX plane) from point A to C
∆i : Travel distance in the direction of the second axis on
the plane (X-axis for the ZX plane)
∆k : Depth of cut in the direction of the first axis on the
plane (Z-axis for the ZX plane)
∆d : Relief amount of the tool at the cutting bottom
f : Feedrate

NOTE
1 Normally, specify a positive value for ∆d. When X
(U) and ∆i are omitted, specify a value with the sign
indicating the direction in which the tool is to
escape.
2 No decimal point can be input for P(∆i) and Q(∆k).
