Drilling operation subtypes
Each operation subtype is set by default to a specific drilling cycle that is
appropriate for the operation. Most drilling operations let you specify a
different drilling cycle and the type of motion output: one CYCLE/ statement
or individual GOTO statements.
Spot Drilling
Drills to the default depth value specified in the template. If the default
tool depth would violate the part, NX reduces the depth to a safe value.
Drilling
Drills with a basic Drill machine cycle, by default.
Deep Hole Drilling
Uses drilling cycles that include the spindle, coolant, and feed rate controls
that are required to drill deep holes. The in-process feature volume
identifies any pilot hole or cross holes that have been previously
machined.
Countersinking
Drills a diameter larger than the hole diameter. If a chamfer is not
modeled on the hole feature, NX estimates an initial value.
Back Countersinking
Countersinks the back end of through holes using a tool with the neck offset
from the centerline of the shank. On the engage and retract moves, NX shifts
the tool off-center as required to safely pass through the hole. If a chamfer
is not modeled on the hole feature, NX estimates an initial value.
Tapping Cuts threads in holes using a tapping tool.
The major diameter of the tapping tool must equal the diameter of the feature
to cut. All features to cut must have the same diameter.
Sequential Drilling
Drills a sequence of coaxial holes. Uses drilling cycles that include
additional feed rate controls for crossing voids. The in-process feature
volume identifies the voids. Milling operation subtypes
Hole Milling
Uses spiral, helical, circular, or a combination of spiral and helical cut
patterns to machine blind and through holes.
Boss Milling
Uses spiral, helical, circular, or a combination of spiral and helical cut
patterns to machine bosses.
Hole Chamfer
Milling Mills a chamfer in a circular pattern with a chamfering tool.
Thread
Milling NX can determine the form and pitch directly from the model, or
you can select parameters from a table. The form and pitch of the tool must
match the form and pitch specified in the operation.
Boss Thread
Milling NX can determine the form and pitch directly from the model, or you
can select parameters from a table. The form and pitch of the tool must match
the form and pitch specified in the operation.
Radial Groove
Milling Combines groove milling and hole milling to machine a sequence of
circular grooves with a T-cutter. The operation cuts in a circular pattern
with multiple radial and axial passes.
