CNC Machine Guide: Types, Uses, Prices, Definition

CNC machines are utilized in every modern manufacturing segment, but it wasn’t always so. Manually operated machines previously ruled the manufacturing process. Because these machines typically required one operator, often a skilled machinist, for each milling machine, lathe, and grinder, machining processes were labor intensive. Today, automation and efficiency are the cornerstones of the manufacturing

29. Create a Peck Drilling Program in Circular or Rectangular Patterns
Using the Circular or Rectangular Drilling Wizards, you can program the machine to drill an un-limited series of holes along the X and Y planes. Program it to drill straight through to your total depth, use a high-speed pecking cycle, or deep hole pecking cycle. You can program the cut-in depth and return point for a controlled peck drill application to maximize chip clearance.
