Format Cycle Bore1

This command can be added by right-clicking on the “Drilling Cycle” heading inside “Commands” tab.

It is used to print boring type drilling cycles with no drag (G76, etc.) in the NC program in the appropriate format.

In an APT/CL file, this drilling cycle usually starts with statements like “CYCLE/BORE, NODRAG” and ends with CYCLE/OFF. The parameters of this drilling cycle are defined in the expression CYCLE/BORE, NODRAG. Drilling positions (points) are also given in subsequent GOTO lines.

Boring type drilling cycle lines, expressed by the lines “CYCLE/BORE,NODRAG” in the APT/CL file, first activate the “Event Cycle Start” and “Event Cycle” in MANUSpost. “ActionCycleMotion” is included as standard in “Event Cycle”. “ActionCycleMotion” runs “Format Cycle Bore1”, if the drilling cycle type detected is boring drilling cycle type (G76).

IMPORTANT NOTE: At the start of each drilling cycle (i.e. in the expression CYCLE/BORE,NODRAG in APT/CL), Event Cycle Start. will automatically run at first for once. Later, “Event Cycle” becomes active for all drilling points in the same drilling cycle (i.e. all GOTO lines coming after CYCLE/BORE,NODRAG and up to CYCLE/OFF).
