Peck drill cycle time is reasonable in the machine simulation but it is significantly off...

That's because the simulation cannot take into account acc/dec which is different for every machine and different axes.

Run a sample canned cycle in the machine(s) in question, figure out what the factor is and add that in to the cycle time.

Can I add that factor into setup sheet for cycle time ?

Is there any way to manipulate the setup sheet cycle time?

Maybe, but you would need to go into the scripting side and then add conditions to evaluate cycles and then add the math condition to reduce it. The question becomes what factor? What is the correct percentage of reduction? How can you ensure you have taken the 100 different things that might need to be considered into the process of coming up with the perfect end results?
