Advanced Drilling and Increasing Peck Clearance

[Nickjones818]

Hello, 

      I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this (ha ha, get it), but curious if its possible to adjust within the post the peck clearance on Advanced drill toolpaths. Being a sort of long hand drill cycle, it looks like values are driven directly from the NCI, so I'm not sure its even possible through the post, but figured id ask.

The values are hardcoded and cannot be changed. Email QC so they register the request

Try adding "an initial point segment" to whatever you want to be your Retract Height (peck clearance), then add your Pecking section. But you'll end up pecking through air if you do it this way. The Peck portion of the cycle doesn't seem to obey the Linking Parameters.

I just added an initial point of "0.5", then used a Peck Cycle drilling to -1.0 inches, a fast-feed move to move down to -2.5 for flange drilling, then a deeper peck cycle with full retract from Z-2.5 to Z-3.5.

Here is the output:
