5.2.3 Peck Rigid Tapping Cycle (G84 or G74)
Tapping a deep hole in rigid tapping mode may be difficult due to
chips sticking to the tool or increased cutting resistance. In such
cases, the peck rigid tapping cycle is useful.
In this cycle, cutting is performed several times until the bottom of the
hole is reached. Two peck tapping cycles are available:
High-speed peck tapping cycle and standard peck tapping cycle.
These cycles are selected using the PCP bit (bit 5) of parameter 5200.
Format
G84 (or G74) X_ Y_ Z_ R_ P_ Q_ F_ K_ ;
X_ Y_ : Hole position data
Z_ : The distance from point R to the bottom of the hole and
the position of the bottom of the hole
R_ : The distance from the initial level to point R level
P_ : Dwell time at the bottom of the hole and at point R when
a return is made
Q_ : Depth of cut for each cutting feed
F_ : The cutting feedrate
K_ : Number of repeats (if required)
