The FIXTURE function allows loading and removing saved fixtures from within the NC program.
In the Editor operating mode and in the MDI application, different fixtures can be loaded independently of one another.

In the Editor operating mode and in the MDI application, different fixtures can be loaded independently of one another.
The selected setup situation is checked for collisions during simulation or machining.
The FIXTURE SELECT function selects a fixture by means of a pop-up window. The search filter in the window may have to be changed to All files (.*).
The FIXTURE RESET function removes the fixture.
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 FIXTURE SELECT "TNC:\system\Fixture\JAW_CHUCK.STL" | ; Load the fixture as an STL file |
The NC function includes the following syntax elements:
