Columns of the pallet table
The machine tool builder defines a pallet table prototype that opens
automatically when you create a pallet table.
The prototype can include the following columns:
Column Meaning
NR
The control creates the entry automatically.
The entry is required for the entry field Line number =
of the BLOCK SCAN function.
TYPE
The control differentiates between the following
entries
PAL Pallet
FIX Fixture
PGM NC program
Select the entries using the ENT key and the arrow
keys or by soft key.
NAME
File name
The machine tool builder specifies the names for
pallets and fixtures, if applicable, whereas you define
program names. You must specify the complete path
if the NC program is not saved in the directory of the
pallet table.
DATUM
Datum
You must specify the complete path if the datum table
is not saved in the directory of the pallet table. You
activate datums from a datum table in the NC program
using Cycle 7 .
PRESET
Workpiece preset
Enter the preset number of the workpiece.
LOCATION
Location of the pallet
The entry MA indicates that there is a pallet or fixture
in the working space of the machine and can be
machined. Press the ENT key to enter MA. Press the
NO ENT key to remove the entry and thus suppress
machining.
LOCK
Line locked
Using an * you can exclude the line of the pallet table
from processing. Press the ENT key to identify the
line 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. Unlocked lines
