Using Transfer Line Cycles

Chapter 31

31-3

The cycles for the transfer line are user-defined. With the transfer line
option, there are 19 templates that perform drilling, boring and transfer line
functions. You can customize pre-written templates by using QuickView.
In QuickView, there is a screen for each cycle. On each screen there is a
graphic representation of each cycle and prompts with which you
customize the program. Once you enter the information through
QuickView the control generates a part program that functions like a cycle.

In the example on the next page, we show a part program that has been
created by the control from information entered through QuickView. The
lines of the part program that are affected by the information you enter in
QuickView are in bold text. Other phases of the cycle are described by the
text to the right of the part program.
