Pallet preset table

Application

Pallet presets are an easy way to compensate, for example, for mechanical differences between individual pallets.

The machine manufacturer defines the pallet preset table.

Description of function

If a pallet preset is active, the workpiece preset is referenced to it.

In the PALPRES column of the pallet table, you can enter the corresponding pallet preset for a pallet.

You can also completely align the coordinate system to the pallet by, for example, positioning the pallet preset in the center of a clamping tower.

When a pallet preset is active, the control displays an icon with the number of the active pallet preset in the Positions workspace.

You can check the active pallet preset and the defined values in the Setup application.

Notes

 
Notice
Danger of collision!
The control may feature an additional pallet preset table, depending on the machine. Values that the machine manufacturer defined in the pallet preset table take effect before values that you defined in the preset table. The control indicates in the Positions workspace whether a pallet preset is active and if yes, which one. Since the values of the pallet preset table are neither visible nor editable outside the Setup application, there is a risk of collision during any movement!
  1. Refer to the machine manufacturer's documentation
  2. Use pallet presets only in conjunction with pallets
  3. Change pallet presets only after discussion with the machine manufacturer
  4. Check the pallet preset in the Setup application before you start machining
 
Notice
Danger of collision!
Despite a basic rotation based on the active pallet preset, the control does not display an icon in the status display. There is a risk of collision during all subsequent axis movements!
  1. Check the pallet preset in the Setup application before you start machining
  2. Check the traverse movements of the machine
  3. Use pallet presets only in conjunction with pallets

If the pallet preset changes, you need to reset the workpiece preset.
