Copying the preset with PRESET COPY
Application
The function PRESET COPY allows you to copy a preset defined in the preset table and activate the copy.
Requirement
- The preset table contains values
- Workpiece preset has been defined
Description of function
To select the preset to be copied, use the row number or the entry in the DOC column.
Input
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.
Change the following contents as needed:
- Tools
- Cutting parameters
- Feed rates
- Clearance height or safe position
- Machine-specific positions (e.g., with M91)
- Paths of program calls
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.
