Using QuickView to Customize the Cycles
Though your transfer line control comes with part program templates, you
need to customize that template into a working part program for your
application. QuickView prompts that are designed to work with the part
program templates let you to modify your program template.
In QuickView, the illustrations vary slightly for drilling/boring cycles and
transfer cycles. The graphics for the drilling/boring cycles are position
profiles, and the graphics for the transfer cycles are velocity profiles. An
example of each is given:
