This tab is to set the cycle parameters in the VisualCAM Post-Processor.
 PPG Editor: Cycles |
Macros for the cycle commands. It represents the selected G-code value that defines each specific cycle. This value is displayed in the edit box below all the available options. It can be changed if required. |
The following Cycles are supported: •Cycle Off (G80) •Standard Drill (G81) •Standard Drill with Dwell On (G82) •Deep (G83) •Break Chip (G87) •Counter Sink (G82) •Tap (Clockwise) (G84) •Tap (C-Clockwise) (G84) •Peck Tapping (Clockwise) (G84) •Peck Tapping (C-Clockwise) (G84) •Rigid Tap (Clockwise) (T00) •Rigid Tap (C-Clockwise) (T01) •Bore (Drag) Dwell Off (G85) •Bore (Drag) Dwell On (G89) •Bore (No Drag) Dwell Off Orient On (G76) •Bore (No Drag) Dwell On Orient On (G76) •Bore (No Drag) Dwell Off Orient Off (G86) •Bore (No Drag) Dwell On Orient Off (G86) •Bore (Reverse) Dwell Off (G87) •Bore (Manual) Dwell On (G88) •Bore (Reverse) Dwell Off (G77) •Bore (Reverse) Dwell On (G77) •User Defined Drill Cycle 1 •User Defined Drill Cycle 2 •User Defined Drill Cycle 3 •User Defined Drill Cycle 4 •User Defined Tap Cycle 1 •User Defined Tap Cycle 2 •User Defined Tap Cycle 3 •User Defined Tap Cycle 4 •User Defined Bore Cycle 1 •User Defined Bore Cycle 2 •User Defined Reverse Bore Cycle 1 •User Defined Reverse Bore Cycle 2 •Turn Thread Cycle Automatic •Turn Thread Cycle Box Cycle •Turn Thread Cycle Single Block •Machine Control Cycle 1 •Machine Control Cycle 2 •Machine Control Cycle 3 •Machine Control Cycle 4 |
Optimize Cycle output will define the cycle format only once and will output the X,Y values for all the other holes. This will result in significant reduction in the file size for output. •Optimize Cycle Output: Enables the optimized cycle options. •Cycle Coordinate Block: Specific cycle block variables to use. |
•Scale Factor for Dwell: Sets the scale factor for dwell output. •# of Decimal Places: Sets the number of decimal places for output. |
•Scale Factor: Sets the scale factor for the first thread depth. •# of Decimal Places: Sets the number of decimal places for output. |
