6.3 Program management with PCU 50
You can substitute subroutines for the markers or repetitions which
may not be included in programs for multiple clampings.
Open the Program Manager.
Press the "Continue" and "Multiple clamping" softkeys.
Specify the number of clampings and the number of the first work
offset to be used.
The clampings are processed in ascending sequence from the
start work offset. The work offsets are defined in the "Tools/Work
Offsets" menu (see Sec. "Work offsets").
Enter a name for the new, global program (XYZ.MPF).
Press the "OK" softkey.
A list is displayed in which the different programs must be assigned to
the work offsets. Not all work offsets, i.e. clampings, must be assigned
to programs, but at least two.
Press the "Program selection" softkey.
The program overview is displayed.
Place the cursor on the required program.
Press the "OK" softkey.
The program is included in the assignment list.
Repeat this process until a program is assigned to every required
work offset.
If you wish to execute the same program on all clampings, select
"On all clampings" softkey.
You can assign different programs to individual work offsets first,
and then assign one program to the remaining work offsets by
selecting the "On all clampings" softkey.
Press the "Delete selection" or "Delete all" softkey if you want to
clear individual or all programs from the assignment list.
Press the "Calculate program" softkey when the assignment list is
complete.
This optimizes the tool changes.
The global program is then renumbered. The number of the current
clamping is specified every time the program switches from one
clamping to another.
