Importing tool tables
Refer to your machine manual. The machine
manufacturer can adapt the IMPORT TABLE function.
If you export a tool table from an iTNC 530 and import it into a
TNC 620, you have to adapt its format and content before you can
use the tool table. On the TNC 620, you can adapt the tool table
conveniently with the IMPORT TABLE function. The TNC converts
the contents of the imported tool table to a format valid for the
TNC 620 and saves the changes to the selected file.
Follow this procedure:
Save the tool table of the iTNC 530 to the TNC:\table directory
Select the operating mode: Press the
Programming key
Call the file manager: Press the PGM MGT key
Move the cursor to the tool table you want to
import
Press the MORE FUNCTIONS soft keyMORE
