Category | Type | Mill Mode | Turn Mode | Tab Name | Description |
Drill—Drill a hole. Depending on the additional option selected, the following statement will be output to the CL file | Standard | Drilling | CYCLE / DRILL | ||
Deep | Drilling | CYCLE / DEEP | |||
Constant | On the Parameters tab, select Constant in the Peck Type list. | Drilling | |||
Variable Peck | On the Parameters tab, select Variable Peck in the Peck Type list. | Drilling | |||
Break Chip | Drilling | CYCLE / BRKCHP | |||
Web | Web Drilling | CYCLE / THRU (for multiple plates) | |||
Back | Back Boring | A series of GOTO and SPINDLE statements to perform back boring. | |||
Face | Face Drilling | Drill a hole with an optional dwell at final depth to help assure a clean surface at the bottom of the hole. The CYCLE / FACE statement will be output to the CL file. | |||
Bore | Boring | Bore a hole to create a finish hole diameter with high precision. The CYCLE / BORE statement is output to the CL file. | |||
Countersink | Countersinking | Drill a chamfer for a countersunk screw. The CYCLE / CSINK statement will be output to the CL file. | |||
Back | Back Countersinking | The spindle is stopped as the tool traverses through hole to the hole where the spindle is engaged and the tool creates a countersink. If the Back option is selected, the system performs back countersinking. | |||
Tap—Tap a threaded hole. Creo NC supports ISO standard thread output. The CYCLE / TAP statement will be output to the CL file. Two additional options are available: | Tapping | Tapping | The feed rate is determined by the combination of thread pitch and spindle speed. | ||
Floating | On the Parameters tab, select Floating in the Tap Type list. | Tapping | Modify the feed rate using the parameter FLOAT_TAP_FACTOR. | ||
Fixed | On the Parameters tab, select Fixed in the Tap Type list. | Tapping | |||
Ream | Reaming | Create a precision finish hole. The CYCLE / REAM statement will be output to the CL file. | |||
Custom | Custom Drilling | Create and use your own customized cycles for the current machine tool. |
