Boorprogrammas

Boorprogrammas, or drilling programs, are automated instructions that control hole-making operations in manufacturing. They guide CNC machines such as milling centers with drilling capability, drilling centers, or robotic systems performing hole creation tasks. A boorprogramma defines the sequence of holes, the tools used, and the conditions under which drilling occurs. In CNC contexts it is typically a G-code or CAM-generated file containing tool definitions, hole coordinates, depths, diameters, feed rates, spindle speeds, coolant settings, and tool offsets. It may employ canned drilling cycles for efficiency, such as spot drilling, drilling, peck drilling, and through- or blind-hole cycles, and it may include boring operations to finish or enlarge holes.

Generation and workflow: Boorprogrammas can be authored by machinists by hand, generated by CAM software from CAD models, or produced by post-processing CAM outputs to match the machine’s control. Before execution, programs are usually simulated or tested in a dry run to verify geometry, avoid collisions, and confirm offsets and cycle selection. In modern manufacturing they are stored in libraries, version-controlled, and linked to process documentation for traceability.

Applications and scope: They are used broadly in metalworking, aerospace, automotive, electronics enclosures, and woodworking CNC routers. They integrate with broader process planning and quality control and are managed alongside tooling, fixturing, and cycle-time analysis.
