Teach Trace
The Teach Trace function of the control allows parts to be taught rather than programmed. The
position information from the taught part will remain as a part program that can be saved to disk for
future use.
The Teach Trace algorithms present in the control can recognize both arcs and lines. This will
reduce the overall memory required to store these parts and will improve the smoothness of the cut.
The taught part in memory is in EIA format and can be cut, saved or manipulated using any of the
part options.
The Teach Trace function must be used in conjunction with an optional stand-alone optical tracing
system.
Start Corner
The Start Corner setup parameter allows the user to select where the taught part will begin for proper
viewing on the screen.
Tracing Pitch
This determines how precisely to learn a part. The Tracing Pitch can be adjusted to trade off
resolution versus size of the taught part. This value does not affect the actual position resolution of
the part.
A good starting point for most tracing systems is 0.01”.
