Setting up the pallet plane
Pallet Id: The pallet name is displayed
Method: You can choose between the WORKPIECE ORIENTED and
TOOL ORIENTED machining methods. The selected method is
assumed for the workpiece level and overwrites any existing
entries. In tabular view, WORKPIECE ORIENTED appears as WPO,
and TOOL ORIENTED appears as TO.
The TO-/WP-ORIENTED entry cannot be made via soft
key. It only appears when different machining methods
were chosen for the workpieces in the workpiece or
machining level.
If the machining method was determined in the fixture
level, the entries are transferred to the workpiece level,
where they overwrite any existing entries.
Status: The soft key BLANK identifies the pallet and the
corresponding fixtures and workpieces as not yet having been
machined, and enters BLANK in the Status field. Use the soft key
EMPTY POSITION if you want to skip the pallet during machining.
EMPTY appears in the Status field.
