Adding table values with TABDATA ADD
Application
Use the TABDATA ADD function to add a value to an existing table value.
You can use the TABDATA ADD function to update a tool compensation value after a measurement has been repeated, for example.
Description of function
You can define the value directly within the TABDATA ADD NC function or use numerical parameters as transfer parameters.
In order to write into a compensation table, you need to activate the table.
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.
