Drilling

The KeyMachinst drilling function offers very complete drilling toolpath utilities. KeyMachinist can drill from any direction in any KeyCreator construction view. Angled machine code is automatically output for rotary axis control.

Complete set of preprogrammed cycles including:
  • boring
  • spot drilling
  • peck drilling
  • tapping
drilling dialog KeyMachinist dialogs provide pictures to make variables and options clear
  User defined sets of cycles and custom parameters 
  Definition of standard hole patterns from parameters (without CAD geometry) for:
  • bolt circle
  • grid pattern
  • linear pattern
  Minimze air time through adjustment of hole sequence based on either:
  • closest distance to next
  • specified number of zig-zags on the x or y axis
Quick programming even if the part is not fully modeled by allowing drilling locations to be defined at:
  • filtered selections of circles/edges, points, or positions
  • standard patterns such as bolt circle, grid or linear patterns
