Application
Pallet table management is a machine-specific
function. The standard functional range is described
below.
Refer to your machine manual.
Pallet tables (.P) are mainly used in machining centers with pallet
changers. The pallet tables call the different pallets with the
corresponding machining programs and activate all defined datums
and datum tables.
Without a pallet changer you can use pallet tables to process NC
programs with different datums in sequence with just one press of
NC START.
If you want to create or manage pallet tables, the
name of the file must begin with a letter.
Pallet tables contain the following information:
NR: The control produces the entry automatically when new
rows are added. The entry is required for the entry field Line
number = of the BLOCK SCAN function.
TYPE: Input is obligatory. The control differentiates between the
entries Pallet PAL, fixture FIX or NC program PGM. Select the
entries using the ENT key and arrow keys.
NAME: Entry is obligatory. The machine manufacturer may set
names for pallets and fixtures (see machine manual), but you
specify the program names. If the files are not saved in the
pallet table directory, you must enter the complete paths.
DATUM: Entry is only required when using datum tables. If the
files are not saved in the pallet table directory, you must enter
the complete paths. You activate datums from the datum tables
in the NC program using Cycle 7 .
PRESET: Entry is only required when using different datums.
Enter the required preset numbers.
LOCATION: Entry is obligatory. The entry MA indicates that the
machine is loaded with a pallet or fixture that can be machined.
The TNC only machines pallets or fixtures identified by MA.
Press the ENT key to enter MA. Press the NO ENT key to
remove the entry.
LOCK: Entry is optional. Using an * you can exclude the row of
the pallet table from processing. Press the ENT key to identify
the row with the entry *. Press the NO ENT key to cancel the
lock. You can lock the execution for individual NC programs,
fixtures or entire pallets. Non-locked lines (e.g. PGM) of a locked
pallet will also not be executed.
