Application
Pallet tables are used for machining centers with pallet changers: The
pallet table calls the part programs that are required for the different
pallets, and activates presets, datum shifts and datum tables.
You can also use pallet tables to run in succession several programs
that have different reference points.
Pallet tables contain the following information:
„ TYPE (entry obligatory):
Identification for pallet or NC program (select with ENT)
„ NAME (entry obligatory):
Pallet or program name. The machine tool builder determines the
pallet name (see your machine tool manual). The program name
must be stored in the same directory as the pallet table. Otherwise
you must enter the full path name for the program
„ PRESET (entry optional):
Preset number from the preset table. The preset number defined
here is interpreted by the TNC as a workpiece datum.
„ DATUM (entry optional):
Name of the datum table. The datum table must be stored in the
same directory as the pallet table. Otherwise you must enter the full
path name for the datum table. Datums from the datum table can be
activated in the NC program with Cycle 7 DATUM SHIFT
Pallet table management is a machine-dependent function.
The standard functional range will be described below.
Refer to your machine tool manual for more information.
If you want to create or manage pallet tables, the name of
the file must begin with a letter.
