9.5 Clamping a blank

9.5 Clamping a blank
The blank clamping function allows you to select the clamping location for the blank
(unmachined part).
Preconditions
● The machine must provide several clamping options.
● In order that for simulation/simultaneous recording, the rotary axes are displayed at the
correct location, their positions in the machine coordinate system must be specified using
the following machine data:
MD53220 $MAS_AXIS_MCS_POSITION[n]
Function
Set the following channel-specific machine data:
MD52207 $MCS_USAGE_ATTRIB[n]
Bit 0
Bit 1
Bit 2
Bit 8
MD52214 $MCS_FUNCTION_MASK_MILL
Bit 1
