The TRANS DATUM function allows you to shift the workpiece datum by either entering fixed or variable coordinates or by specifying a table row in the datum table.
Use the TRANS DATUM RESET function to reset the datum shift.
The TRANS DATUM function allows you to shift the workpiece datum by either entering fixed or variable coordinates or by specifying a table row in the datum table.
Use the TRANS DATUM RESET function to reset the datum shift.
Activating the datum table in the NC program
You can define a datum shift by entering values in the respective axis with the TRANS DATUM AXIS function. You can define up to nine coordinates in one NC block, and incremental entries are possible.
The control displays the result of the datum shift in the Positions workspace.
You can use the TRANS DATUM TABLE function to define a datum shift by selecting a row from a datum table.
Optionally, you can set the path to a datum table. If you do not define a path, the control will use the datum table that has been activated with SEL TABLE.
Activating the datum table in the NC program
The control displays the datum shift and the path to the datum table on the TRANS tab of the Status workspace.
Use the TRANS DATUM RESET function to cancel a datum shift. How you previously defined the datum is irrelevant.
NC programs contained in this User's Manual are suggestions for solutions. The NC programs or individual NC blocks must be adapted before being used on a machine.
Some NC programs depend on the machine kinematics. Adapt these NC programs to your machine kinematics before the first test run.
In addition, test the NC programs using the simulation before the actual program run.
With a program test you determine whether the NC program can be used with the available software options, the active machine kinematics and the current machine configuration.
11 TRANS DATUM AXIS X+10 Y+25 Z+42 | ; Shift the workpiece datum in the X, Y and Z axes |
The NC function includes the following syntax elements:
Syntax element | Meaning |
---|---|
TRANS DATUM | Start of syntax for a datum shift |
AXIS, TABLE or RESET | Datum shift with coordinate input, with a datum table or reset of the datum shift |
X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V or W | Possible axes for coordinate input Fixed or variable number Only if AXIS has been selected |
TABLINE | Row in the datum table Fixed or variable number Only if TABLE has been selected |
" " or QS | Path to the datum table Fixed or variable name Optional syntax element Only if TABLE has been selected |
