Peck Drill in Lathe Not Working!

[Bowfisherman]

I am selecting Peck Drill in Lathe and when I post the job, it reads customized drill cycle and then gives me no depth. My Peck is .2 subsequent is .2 and retract is .2 So when I run the job, it goes to the entry of the part and then returns home and does a tool change.

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

First, I would look and verify the depth to drill was set correctly.

It sounds like Canned Pecking is not setup in your (Lathe) Post Processor.

Yep, Lathe is not setup to Peck by default. You have to make modifications to the post (generally) to handle Lathe Pecking...

Thanks Guys, I am in contact now with my dealer for modifying the post!

 

You guys were exactly right.
