Master your Drilling: Part IV — Setup-Based Drilling
Lemoine evaluates which holes can be safely machined based on how the block is currently positioned on the machine. For a given 3-axis setup, the system drills only the holes that are truly reachable within that orientation and within machine travel limits.
If the part is flipped or rotated for another setup, accessibility is recalculated accordingly — ensuring each NC program reflects real-world machining conditions.
For mold makers and precision manufacturers, this eliminates guesswork, prevents over-travel or unreachable moves, and keeps every drilling operation aligned with the physical setup on the machine.
Smart drilling isn’t just feature-aware — it’s machine- and setup-aware.
