UNIVERSAL PECKING (Cycle G205)
1
The TNC positions the tool in the tool axis at rapid traverse to the 
input set-up clearance above the workpiece surface.
2
The tool drills to the first plunging depth at the programmed feed 
rate F.
3
If you have programmed chip breaking, the tool then retracts by 
the entered retraction value. If you are working without chip 
breaking, the tool is moved at rapid traverse to set-up clearance 
and then at rapid traverse to the entered starting position above 
the first plunging depth.
4
The tool then advances with another infeed at the programmed 
feed rate. If programmed, the plunging depth is decreased after 
each infeed by the decrement.
5
The TNC repeats this process (2 to 4) until the programmed total 
hole depth is reached.
6
The tool remains at the hole bottom—if programmed—for the 
entered dwell time to cut free, and then retracts to set-up 
clearance at the retraction feed rate. If you have entered a 2nd set-
up clearance, the tool subsequently moves to that position in rapid 
traverse.
Before programming, note the following:
Program a positioning block for the starting point (hole 
center) in the working plane with radius compensation 
G40.
The algebraic sign for the cycle parameter DEPTH 
determines the working direction. If you program 
DEPTH = 0, the cycle will not be executed. 
Enter in MP7441 bit 2 whether the TNC should output an 
error message (bit 2=1) or not (bit 2=0) if a positive depth 
is entered.
Danger of collision!
Keep in mind that the TNC reverses the calculation for pre-
positioning when a positive depth is entered. This 
means that the tool moves at rapid traverse in the tool axis 
at safety clearance below the workpiece surface!
