peck depth

[Rocketmachinist]

Hey I have a Heidenhain post but I have run into an issue. I am trying to use cycle 205 universal drilling. I think that if i say peck depth of 0, then the machine will not drill anything at all and just move on to the next hole without anything happening. So i am trying to see if someone puts into that field for peck depth of zero, when it post it just will recognize that zero isn't an acceptable number and put in the hole depth number for the peck depth instead.

I normally add an error message to the post if the peck height is 0 for cycle 205. As you said no hole is drilled

Yeah, this video shows what happens

If we don't want to peck

We normally increase peck more than the depth

to just drill
