Format Cycle Tap Peck

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

It is used to print the peck type tap cycles (G84 etc.) in the APT/CL file in the appropriate format in the NC program.

In an APT/CL file, this drilling cycle usually starts with statements like “CYCLE/TAP,DEEP” and ends with the statement CYCLE/OFF.

The CYCLE/TAP,DEEP statement also contains the parameters of the drilling cycle. Drilling positions (points) are also given in subsequent GOTO lines.

Peck tap drilling cycle lines, expressed by “CYCLE/TAP,DEEP” lines in the APT/CL file, first activate “Event Cycle Start” and “Event Cycle” in MANUSpost.

“ActionCycleMotion” is included as standard in “Event Cycle”. “ActionCycleMotion” activates the “Format Cycle Tap Peck”, if the drilling cycle type detected is the peck tap drilling cycle.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At the start of each drilling cycle (i.e. in the CYCLE/TAP,DEEP statement 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 com,ng after CYCLE/TAP,DEEP and up to CYCLE/OFF).
