Drill peck cycle

[Ed.G]

When using the Peck Drill cycle in Mastercam the backplot or the verify screen doesn't show the drill pecking. The drill makes one move to neg. Z and back to clearance. Why won't it show the peck moves? I selected 1st peck at .100, subseguent at .100, peck clearance .100 but still it doesn't help!

I searched for "backplot peck" because issue has been raised in the past. Do that and read up, there is some good discussion there. Many believe this should be supported.

 

I'd think that a control specific G-Code verificaiton system should do that, but I don't expect Mastercam to cover it.

 

Drill cycles all backplot in the same manner - simple drill. They are customizable, so 'peck' in your post may be 'brew coffee' in mine, which shouldn't show a peck motion. If mine was aligned with a peck cycle in my post, maybe the machine handles the motion a different manner - quite likely in a chip break cycle for instance - the retract value may be defaulted on the control, and different from yours.
