Interrupt station function
The interrupt station function actuates during the automatic operation of
the machine and comes in handy when there occurs a rush job using
the work currently being cut. This function can be used to insert and
store new cutting data as an interrupt station. The interrupt station is
preferentially executed, so that there is no need to stop the machine.
Press the F1 (ST interrupt) key to enable the interrupt station function.
The interrupt station function may be activated in one of the following
three ways:
• The interrupt station is inserted in the middle of the station currently
being executed (see the next page).
• The interrupt station is inserted between the stations to be executed
later (see page IV-48).
• The interrupt station is inserted as the first station of automatic
operation while the head end of the work is being trimmed during the
automatic operation (see page IV-50).
NOTE
O To disable the interrupt station function after pressing the F1 (ST interrupt) key
(or pressing the F1 (ST interrupt) key by mistake), press the F2 (ST delete)
key to delete the inserted station and display the cutting data of the original
station.
O The cutting data of the interrupt station, once stored, can be changed in the
same way as those of ordinary stations.
O When the interrupt station is inserted, the subsequent stations are
incremented by one each in number. Note that the cutting data stored at the
station 99 will be deleted.
O The interrupt station function can be used not only during the automatic
operation, but also before the start of the automatic operation, during the
pause of the automatic operation or in the MANUAL mode.
The following pages describe the procedures for inserting an interrupt station
while an ordinary station is being executed. The same procedures can be
used for inserting an interrupt station in other cases.
